WORCESTER – Andrew J. Solomon, age 70, passed away on Friday, March 31, 2023 at UMass Medical Center in Worcester. Born in Worcester, he was the son of the late Louis and Rose (Gaffin) Solomon.
Andy was raised in Worcester where he worked various jobs over the years, most notably at the former Spags in Shrewsbury and at the Seven Hills Foundation. He spent most of his adult life in a group home Worcester, where he established many close friendships with other residents. He was very well liked not only with the staff at Seven Hills, but also the Worcester Fire Department where he would regularly visit. Andy was an avid sports fan, focusing much of his attention on the Boston Bruins, his favorite team.
Andy will be remembered for his outgoing personality, genuine caring attitude, and his ability to connect with others.
Andy is survived by his two brothers, Harve Solomon of Framingham, and Steven Solomon of Deerfield Beach, FL; a niece, Rachel Mastracchio and her husband, Nick of Hamden, CT; and one of his close cousins, Nina Steinberg and her husband David.
The family is very thankful for the years of compassionate care given to Andy by the staff at the Seven Hills Foundation as well as at his group home in Worcester.
A graveside service was held on Monday, April 3rd at Holy Society Cemetery in Leicester. Arrangements are under the care of Miles Funeral Home of Holden.
