Andrew Yanney, 54 of Queensbury passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 14th, at his home with his fiancé and beloved dog by his side. Born on July 3rd 1967 in Hartford, Connecticut he was the son of the late Robert H. Yanney and Carol K. (Ketchum) Yanney and beloved maternal grandson of Frank ( Papa ) and Mary (Mame) Weiderman, and paternal grandson of Mary Yanney. Andy graduated from Northwood University in 1990 earning 2 Bachelors and an Associate’s degree. He loved cars and the need for speed. He knew all aspects of the car industry from sales manager, marketing, internet sales, and auctioning. Andy had such a passion for boating. He loved the ocean where he and his cousin Steve spent a lot of time in Fort Myers during college before returning to New York. He spent summers on Lake George at his family's lake house, which he loved. He enjoyed being outdoors, snowmobiling, skiing, riding his Yamaha Banshee and most of all boating. He knew every inch of Lake George and would cruise the shorelines up until the first November snow. Andy could cook anything and take any recipe to a new level. He was the master of the grill and could cook a filet, T-bone, prime rib or the juiciest Lamb Chop that would beat Bobby Flay his fiancée was sure of it. He could build anything without instructions and put something together without directions. He could grow anything in a garden. All these skills he learned from his Papa who he loved spending time with as a child. Survivors include Colleen Dominy of Queensbury, his fiancé and life partner of 23 years, his dog Teddy who gave him so much joy and love, and his sister, Lucinda Yanney of West Hartford, Connecticut who he would spend hours with talking on the phone.
