Petersburg Pilot -

Andrew C. Greinier of Petersburg, Alaska, passed away in his home of natural causes on February 04, 2024.

He was born in Wrangell, Alaska, to Bill and Barbara Greinier Jr. He moved to Petersburg in 1971 when the family resettled. He acquired lifelong memories, skills, and solid friendships over the many seasons he worked as a cook, shipmate, and video man documenting all events surrounding him. His shutterbug talents are now being viewed and appreciated by all.

He was a beloved son, father, grandfather, and just recently a great-grandfather.

Andrew was preceded in death by his father, William A. Greinier Jr; uncles and aunts, Tom Greinier Sr, Richard and Esther Harris, and Andrew and Zella Greinier; grandparents, William A. and Ruth Greinier Sr, and Hugh and Alice Harris.

He is survived by his mother, Barbara Greinier; two sons, Aaron (Stevie Glass) and Christopher (fiancé Sarah Otness) Greinier; grandchildren, Andrew, Aiden, Penny, and Henry; great-granddaughter, Gracie Grenier; sister, Cynthia (Timothy) Zimmerman and their children, William, Kathryn, and Samuel; brother, Joseph R. (fiancé Ana Bradley) Greinier; and many faithful and supportive uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and a niece.

Andy's unwavering resolve and steadfast loyalty to his family, friends, and those he embraced continue to be a testament of his love for life.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
