Obituary of Andrew L Skupnick

Andrew Louis Skupnick, “Mr. Andy”, 68 of Hoquiam, Washington passed away on Tuesday, April 6, 2021 at Grays Harbor Community Hospital. Andrew was born June 10, 1952 in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Andrew Alex and Norma Jean (Gray) Skupnick. Andy married April 27, 1978 in Clintwood, Virginia to Alice Hawkins Skupnick. Graduated from Waynesburg High School as an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. Andy worked in healthcare as Director of Environmental Services, chemical sales, and owned a sales route as a distributor for President Baking (of course that was the job his children loved most, especially unlimited access to the cookies). He realized his true calling when he accepted Christ and went on to fulfill this passion by achieving Pastoral certification in 2002. Andy founded His Place Fellowship, a non-denominational faith where all were welcomed. Andy loved the outdoors, traveling, birdwatching, sitting by the ocean, spending time with family, and speaking fearlessly and passionately to others about Christ. Andy was proud to serve in the United States Marine Corps, receiving an honorable discharge as an PVT E-1 on May 13, 1972. In addition to his parents, Andy was preceded in death by his beloved youngest sister Susan J (Criss)Frankenberry. Andrew is survived by his wife Alice Hawkins Skupnick in Hoquiam WA. Survivors include 5 children Tammy Lynn Skupnick (Robert) Breeden of Stevensburg, Virginia, Timothy Eugene (Beth) Skupnick of Falling Waters West Virginia, Andrew Alex (Elizabeth Ann) Skupnick of Hoquiam, Washington, Merko Louis Skupnick of Hoquiam, Washington, Michael Cory (Devin) Skupnick of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Survived by seven grandchildren Robben Ann, Toby, Trisha, Brandon, Olivia, Rosalia, and Gavin, as well as nine great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Mary Ann Skupnick (Joni Westerhold) of Illinois, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Andy had an incredibly special bond with two of his cousins, Karen Christopher (Joey) and Alex J. Skupnick (“Skup”). Lastly, a special grand-pup named Pork Chop. Andy believed in the value of life and desired to be an organ donor as his way of “Paying it Forward”. After cremation, a Memorial Service will be scheduled for a future date. Memorial Service details will be posted on Facebook with ample notice. In Andy’s honor, please consider donating to a charitable organization of your choice in his name. Contributions toward Andy’s final expenses will also be graciously accepted. Friends are welcome to visit family at 915 Alder St., Hoquiam, WA.
