Guy Andriaccio Sr.
Guy Andriaccio Sr., a devoted husband, loving father, brother and proud grandfather went to be with the Lord on Dec. 23, 2024, at the age of 93. Born Oct. 19, 1931, in Buffalo, N.Y., to Antoinette and Nicholas Andriaccio, Guy lived a life defined by hard work, family, and an unwavering commitment to community.
Guy was the beloved husband of Antoinette, his wife of 72 years. Together, they built a beautiful life centered on love and family, raising five children: Joanne “Josie”, Guy (Cynthia), Mark (Jill), Nicholas (Sally) and Linda (Steve). He was the proud grandfather of 19 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him immense joy.
He is survived by his siblings Nicholas, Joey, Rosa and Angela and is preceded in death by his parents, brothers Anthony “Allie” and Vito, and his sister Mary “Cookie.” Guy’s love for his family was beyond measure and he treasured every moment and memory spent with them.
Guy’s entrepreneurial spirit led to the founding of Andriaccio’s Restaurant in 1982 in Mayville, NY, a cornerstone of the local community. Over the decades, Andriaccio’s became more than just a restaurant, it became a legacy. Most of the Andriaccio family worked there at one time or another, and the business is now proudly operated by the third generation. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent food, Andriaccio’s stands as a testament to Guy’s hard work, vision and dedication to bringing people together.
A true family man, Guy’s greatest joy was creating spaces filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Whether in his gardens, at the restaurant, around the family dinner table, or working on his many ventures, Guys’ warmth, wisdom, and generosity touched everyone who knew him. His contributions to his family and community will continue to inspire those who follow in his footsteps.
Calling hours will be held at the Freay Funeral Home, in Mayville, NY, on Friday, Jan. 10, from 4-7 pm. A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, Jan. 11, at St. Mary’s Church in Mayville, NY at 11 am.
Rest in peace Guy. Your legacy of love, resilience, and dedication will live on through your family and the countless lives you have touched, you will never be forgotten and all who knew you will cherish the love and memories made with you.
