HUDSON FALLS --- Andy "Dutch" Dutcher, 43, passed away Sunday, April 21, 2024.

Born December 14, 1980 in Glens Falls he was the son of Herbert "Butch" Ernest Dutcher and Cerise C. (Carter) Dingman.

Andy attended Warrensburg High School and went on to work for various landscaping companies, including Meade's Landscaping, which he loved and did a great job!

He enjoyed watching sports, especially the New York Giants; spending time with his kids outside going on walks and fishing; and long talks on the phone with his son. Andy fiercely loved his family and would run through fire for them. He will fondly be remembered as a "ball buster."

(Sonya Petrazzuolo); Aunt "All" and Uncle Rob; also many more aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, including Sebastian, Rosie, Zophia, and Rapunzel, who lovingly referred to him as "Uncle Droid," cousins, and friends.
