Andrew McGraw

As a lifelong Fishtowner, Andy was an active member of Atonement Lutheran Church and was involved with helping at church events. He often told stories of his time growing up in Fishtown going to the movies with his cousins at The Jumbo Movie Theater on Girard Ave and met his wife at The Lutheran Settlement House when they were teenagers. 

Andy was born in Philadelphia to the late Frank and Anna Thompson McGraw. He passed away peacefully with his beloved family by his side.  Andy loved his family and was never far apart from his wife of 67 years. He was happiest spending time at his house in Browns Mills where he would take care of the birds and deer and relax on his porch and take in the peacefulness of the Pine Barrens. A welder by trade, Andy was an amateur photographer and was known to be the wedding photographer of note for many newly weds in the neighborhood. 

In addition to his beloved wife of 67 years Caroline (nee Nagle), Andy is the devoted father of Andrew (Lisa), Colleen Plattowski (Derek) and Patrick McGraw. Grandfather of A.J., Jennifer, Kelly, Mark, Anthony, Sabrina, Dylan, Liam and the late Abighael.  Great-grandfather of 11.   Brother of the late Viola Barger and Francis McGraw.  Sadly missed by Brother-in-law Fred Nagle (Stephanie) along with other members of the Nagle family and 3 generations of nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are invited to his Memorial Service on Sunday November 16th, 2025, 1:30 PM at Atonement Lutheran Church 1542 E Montgomery Ave Philadelphia Pa 19125, where friends may pay their condolences after 12:30 PM.
