BRUNSWICK — Andrew Fiori died on March 20, 2013 at the wonderful age of 91. He maintained his wit and charm to the end. Born in Brunswick on April 21, 1921, he was the son of Alfredo and Corola Fiori. Andrew married Rejane Fournier in 1948. She predeceased him.
As a Marine during WWII. Andrew was assigned to a mortar battalion that participated in most of the major battles in the Pacific. He also served in the Korean Conflict as a manager of the commissary at Camp Lejeune, S.C.
For many years Andrew worked in family businesses, the Kennebec Fruit Company and Fiori Brothers, before engaging in other endeavors, including as an agent for Met Life. Andrew enjoyed community service, especially his terms as a member of the Brunswick Sewer District, where he was Chair, and as a volunteer for St. Charles Borromeo Church. An avid sportsman, he enjoyed hunting, fly fishing, and horse racing. He was a life-long gardener.
