Louis R. Andreadis

Louis Andreadis, age 83, of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on July 4, 2025, at Slate Belt Health and Rehabilitation Center in Bangor, Pennsylvania.

He was born in New Haven, Connecticut, on September 10, 1941. After graduating from Wilbur Cross High School, he proudly served his country as a member of the United States Air Force. A man of deep faith and service, he was a longtime parishioner of St. Catherine of Siena Church in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, where he and his wife led the youth group and taught PreCana classes together, guiding both teens and engaged couples with compassion and care. He also served as a Big Brother while living in Arizona and later volunteered with the Cedar Grove Ambulance and Rescue Squad.

He earned his degree from the University of New Haven in 1971 and later graduated from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Phoenix, Arizona. He built a long and loyal career with The Star-Ledger before retiring. Even after retirement, he continued working as a cheesemonger at ShopRite in Little Falls, NJ, where he shared his knowledge and passion for food with others.

He had a deep love for this country and a strong belief in its true ideals. He enjoyed a good cigar and bourbon, and expressed his creativity through writing, woodworking, and a signature sense of humor that brought daily laughter and light to those around him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Claudina Andreadis.

He will be deeply missed by his extended family, friends, community, and all those whose lives he touched with his generosity, wisdom, humor, and warmth.
