Andrew Gadaleta Sr.

Andy was a long-time resident of Warminster, PA. He was born on February 16, 1937 in Philadelphia to parents, Michele and Theresa Gadaleta. He was the youngest son of the family of ten sisters: Angela DePalma (deceased), Francis Palo (Lee), Catherine Smith (deceased), Teresa Watson, Loretta Romano and Jean Hitch; and brothers: Mike (Sonny)/Elaine, Joseph/Phyllis, and Lawrence Gadaleta/Pat (deceased) and their children.

He graduated from Jules E. Mastbaum High School in 1955. Andrew continued his education, attending technical school while starting a career at Sid Harvey’s where he climbed the corporate ladder for many years.

Andrew went on the work as Sr VP of HEPCO, the Wilmington Supply Company and eventually opening the Philadelphia office for Broudy Precision Company, where he finished out his successful career as an expert in the commercial heating, plumbing industry at the age of eighty-two. He was known in the industry for his vast technical knowledge, dedication, service, and honesty. Andrew never turned a customer away, even when supper was on the table.

In high school, Andrew worked at the A & P Supermarket with his brother, where he met his future wife, Anne Diamond. Instantly he fell in love with her. They were engaged and later married on May 4, 1957, when they were both twenty years old.

Anne and Andrew soon had a home in Mayfair, where they raised their family of three: Andrew, Madeline, and Lora Anne. The children attended the local Catholic schools and colleges in Philadelphia area, staying close to home. Anne and Andrew eventually moved to Warminster, where they have lived happily for over 25 years.

Andrew was preceded in death by his beautiful bride of 64 years, Anne, in August 2021. Life was not the same without her. She was his angel and his life.
