Andrew D. Weaver, 93, of Madison, passed away peacefully June 21 with family at his side. Born in Hartford on Dec. 8, 1929, he was the son of Elbert and Grace Weaver.

Andrew was educated at Phillips Academy and Oberlin College before enlisting and serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.

Andrew was a deacon of the First Congregational Church of Madison and a director of the Faulkner’s Light Brigade. He delighted in lobstering and fishing for more than 80 years, exploring the world with his wife of 62 years, and conversing fluently in eight languages.
