Andrew T. Harvey ’71


Andrew T. Harvey, 73, of Glens Falls, New York, passed away on October 8, 2025.

Born and raised in Glens Falls, Andy spent his life in upstate New York. He always loved being on Lake George and, in recent years, enjoyed time on the coast in Kure Beach, North Carolina. He attended Glens Falls schools and graduated from Williston Academy, Hartwick College, and Vermont Law School. He worked in private practice as an attorney and then as an Assistant District Attorney, prosecuting criminal cases in the Washington County District Attorney’s Office. Subsequently, he served as a Commissioner’s Hearing Officer for the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, first at Coxsackie Correctional Facility and later at Great Meadow, hearing inmate disciplinary cases.

Andy brought a sharp mind, dry wit, and undeniable charm to trials and hearings, earning the respect of those he served and even those he sentenced. Those who knew him will remember his humor most: relentless, clever, and quick. He had a knack for seeing the absurd in almost everything and could make people laugh even when they didn’t want to. He was a complex guy who saw the world in his own way and never shied from saying so. He had a soft spot for animals, loved classic cars and wooden boats, and took pride in the life he built for himself and those he loved.

He is survived by his wife, Carol; his daughter, Meredith; his stepchildren, Danny and Megan Vickers; his siblings Denise McLaughlin, Leslie Becher, and Tom Harvey (wife, Tammy); and his two curly coated retrievers, Sweet Pea and Pearl. He was predeceased by his parents, Norman and Ruth Harvey.

Friends and family are welcome to join in celebrating his life at Queensbury Country Club on October 18. Light food and beverages will be served from 2 to 5 p.m., with a toast by his daughter Meredith at 3:30 p.m.
