Andrew P. Krajewski, "Andy"

Passed away on June 22, 2025

Andrew “Andy” P. Krajewski, 76, of St. John, Indiana passed away Sunday, June 22, 2025. He was born on July 19, 1948, in Harvey, Illinois, to the late Peter and Anne (nee Kolody) Krajewski. He grew up in Harvey, Illinois where he was an altar server, a prankster to his friends and played football at Thornton Township High School. The only lasting impact football had on him were a couple broken ribs. On the advice of his childhood friend, Andy pursued a pharmacy degree from University of Illinois at Chicago, Medical Center.  While studying, he took two semesters away at North Dakota State University and Idaho State University. During this time, he gained an interest in classical music and learned to play the classical guitar. In 1979, he married his best friend, Agnes Krajewski (nee Biskup). They settled in St. John, Indiana to raise their two daughters, Stefanie (Zachariah Love) Krajewski and Elizabeth (Scott) Schwartz. Andy enjoyed sharing his love of fishing and ice skating with his children especially at the local Isaak Walton. He was a devoted father and did what he could to provide for his kids especially when it came to their education. In his spare time, he enjoyed reading, watching YouTube and woodworking. Once he retired, he took on a new role as “Pawka” to his grandchildren, Isaac and Zofia. He enjoyed taking them to the park, on walks, the “dinosaur museum” (Field Museum), Brookfield Zoo, riding them around his yard on his lawn mower, having sleepovers at Christmas and so much more.  He will be deeply missed, but we are thankful for the time we had with him.
