Andy was born May 31, 1926 in Cleveland, Ohio to parents Gedeon and Johanna Nagy. He was the oldest child at home while growing up. He was surrounded by love and family as he died peacefully in Malta on June 5, 2022. As Bob likes to say, "He had 96 successful trips around the sun." When he was young he used to deliver the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper. He was very reliable and was a "super carrier" that the area supervisor would use to substitute in delivering and collecting for paper routes that were vacant until a new carrier could be foun...

Sympathy to parents and babies who cannot get formula. Let’s hope they get some soon. Sympathy to Pastor Bob Nagy and family on the loss of his dad Andrew Nagy, who was in his 90’s.

Anyway, hello to Linda’s family and Best Wishes. They are from Canada. Linda’s house will probably go on sale soon. It is very nice and has outbuildings. I heard t...

I was working in my garden last week when I heard the first mosquito of the season. He buzzed my ear, and in an unsuccessful attempt to squash him I slapped myself upside the head. It will be long pants and long-sleeved shirts for yard work from now until the first frost. I’ve never lived anywhere with the amount of mosquitos we have here in Malta. Last week the insecticide spray truck began making its nightly rounds in an effort to combat the buzzing swarms. I suspect the bloodsuckers will b...
