Andrew “Andy” Joseph Gill, a resident of Stoneham, Massachusetts and formerly of Charlestown, Massachusetts entered eternal life on June 7th, 2024 at Care Dimensions Hospice House in Lincoln, Massachusetts. He was 93 years of age.
Andy was born in Boston, Massachusetts on September 27th, 1930, the son of the late Patrick Gill and Bridget (Doherty) Gill. Andy grew up in Charlestown and graduated from B.C. High School where he participated in track and basketball. His basketball team was the Eastern Massachusetts finalist and won the 1948 Boston Conference Championship.

Andy was very competitive and enjoyed participating in football, basketball and golf. In his retirement years, he excelled at racquetball and played well into his 80s and even had a tournament named after him. He was very proud of his family and loved spending time with them.
