Retired FDNY, basketball standout in his youth Andrew John Hornbuckle, 59, of Huntersville, NC, passed away on December 12, 2021. Andy was a loving husband and father. He was a native of Staten Island, NY and recently moved to North Carolina for a beautiful retirement life with his beloved wife Gina. Andy was a member of St. Mark Church, the American Legion and a proud retiree of the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY). Andy felt honored to be a part of this brotherhood. He enjoyed music, golfing, cooking, and going out with his friends and family. Andy was known to be very warm and welcoming and loved hosting pool parties. From childhood, Andy was a talented basketball player at St. Christopher's and Moore Catholic High School and was even awarded a basketball scholarship to Hilbert College. He joined the FDNY serving at Ladder 109 in Brooklyn and served on Staten Island. Andy was a World Trade Center 9/11 first responder. He retired thereafter to Myrtle Beach, SC where his parents resided. He was preceded in death by his father Fred Hornbuckle, brother Daniel Hornbuckle, and his son's mother, Michelle Costagliola. Andy, beloved husband of Gina Bertucci and cherished son of Rosemary Knapp Hornbuckle, is also survived by his dear son Andrew Joseph Hornbuckle; stepdaughters Jackie and Nikki Bertucci; son-in-law Paul Contreras; grandson Vincent Bertucci; sisters Maureen Hornbuckle Drury and Kassie Hornbuckle-Alnwick; and loving nieces and nephews.

I worked with EJ when we where both in E45 and then after he transferred across the floor to 58 Truck. A funny guy to work with and a tough worker at a job, you always knew he had your back.
