ANDOCHICK
WEIRTON The city of Weirton is mourning the loss of a former mayor and public service, following the death of Michael Andochick.
Andochick, who served as mayor between 1971 and 1979, died Tuesday at the age of 90. Prior to his two terms in the city’s highest elected office, he served as a member of Weirton Council, and, through the years, has volunteered with several area boards and organizations.
In a statement issued Thursday morning, Mayor Harold Miller expressed his condolences, and looked back at his own relationship with Andochick.
“We developed a friendship when we both worked at Weirton Steel. Our friendship grew as we shared a common interest and passion in the development and growth of the Hancock County Sheltered Workshop,” Miller said.
