Andrew Levander Obituary
Norwich - Andrew Levander, 62, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on October 9, 2019 surrounded by his family. Born in Alabama on May 30, 1957 Andy was the loving son of Anna Eng Levander and the late Andrew L Levander. A lifelong resident of Norwich, he graduated from NFA in 1975 and continued his education at UCONN, graduating with a BA in Chemistry. He was employed at the State of CT Department of Health for 35 years, retiring in 2017.
Besides his mother, Andy is survived by his children Daniel and Nichole and granddaughter Alaya Barham , all of whom he loved dearly. He also leaves behind two sisters, Jadine (Joseph) Bean, Susan (Stephen) Belliveau, brother David Levander, and several nieces and nephews.
Andy was an avid Star Wars collector, loved motorcycles, liked to jog, had a great passion for all kinds of music and enjoyed going to concerts. He also liked to read and was a source of endless knowledge - no matter what the topic you could always count on Andy to add some interesting trivia. He loved his family and friends and will be greatly missed.
Calling hours will be Friday October 18, 2019 from 6-8PM at the Woyasz & Son Funeral Home 141 Central Ave Norwich CT. Burial will be at the Maplewood Cemetery, 184 Salem Turnpike Norwich CT on Saturday October 19, 2019 at 10 AM.

To Andy's Family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Andy's passing. While we have lost track of each other with the passing of time, I have very fond high school and college (UCONN) memories of our friendship, along with Andy's easy smile and constant good cheer.
May you rest in peace, my friend.

To Andy's Family,
I am so saddened by your loss. May you find comfort in the knowledge that Andy is at peace and no longer suffering; and may you find joy in your memories of him.
I had the pleasure of working with Andy for more than 30 years with the State of CT Department of Public Health. Andy and I worked closely on many things. Besides performing his primary work, Andy was always energetic and eager to assist when needed. He took pride in the fact that he was performing a public service.
Andy was fun to be around and his presence always made me smile. That's because he always had a smile on his face and enjoyed sharing time with others. Andy and I would frequently have lunch together where we could exchange ideas or just catch up on the day-to-day affairs. Whatever was on the menu for that day, I could always count on Andy to venture out and pick it up, rain or shine. He was always a good sport that way.
I'm also grateful that I had the opportunity to speak with Andy these past few months. He was not concerned about himself, but was thinking of his family. The last time we spoke, Andy called me to be sure that he still had my current cell phone number. We joked that we would get together some afternoon for another pizza. When I think about that now, I realize that was Andy's way of saying goodbye to me, and that we would always be friends.
Rest in Peace my friend! You will be missed.

Andy's life was cut short and we are all deeply saddened by his passing. I loved Andy as a friend and confidante - we shared many rides together to Hartford as carpool buddies. We had opposite political views and I tried my darnedest to make him see things my way, but he wouldn't buy into it. Our shared love of music was always a good thing to fall back on. Andy is missed and I will continue always to have a place in my heart for him. He shared a birthday with my mom and over the years always remembered that and said happy birthday to her through me. Prayers go out to everyone who is missing Andy; especially his loving mom, Anna, sisters and children, Danny & Nicki, but to all of his family and friends. God bless and keep you all in his care.
