Some staff and customers have even shared that ‘Matt is the best’ and that ‘this place wouldn’t be the same without him!’ Matt has also been honored with the VIP Award through St. Mary’s Healthcare. This achievement is a wonderful reflection of the respect and appreciation that Matt has earned from those around him.

In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), we are proud to celebrate Anthony Strazza and an incredible milestone: 30 years of employment with Hannaford! 👏🎉

Three decades with one employer is an extraordinary accomplishment. Anthony’s success is a powerful example of what NDEAM is all about: recognizing the talents, contributions, dedication, and value that people with disabilities bring to our workplaces.

Long-term employees bring tremendous value to the workplace through their experience, dedication, reliability, and loyalty. Anthony’s remarkable 30-year career with Hannaford reflects these qualities and demonstrates what is possible when inclusive workplaces create opportunities for people of all abilities to contribute, succeed, and build meaningful, lasting careers.

Thirty years of showing up, contributing, building relationships, and being a valued member of the workforce is truly something to celebrate.

Congratulations, Anthony, on this remarkable achievement and 30 years of employment success!

It is with great sadness that the Liberty ARC family says goodbye to Andrew “Andy” Huston.

Andy was a familiar face within the agency for the past 30 years, living in Schenectady and attending Maple Ridge Day Center in Rotterdam. Over the years, he has was given few nicknames lovingly from his staff, including “Drew,” “Andy,” “Houston,” and “Grandpa.”

He will be remembered by his Liberty ARC family as a kind-hearted soul with a big and memorable personality. Andy always wore a big sarcastic smile when he was joking around with his staff or flashed a look of innocence when caught doing something that he probably shouldn’t have been doing.

He enjoyed the company of his friends, including those he lived with and others who attended Maple Ridge. Andy was known for showing his friends affection by making them a hot cup of coffee. When offered an afternoon cup himself, he would hurry to sit at the table whether that was at home or at the local Dunkin. Andy was quite the foodie, too, who enjoyed Italian food and a delicious slice of chocolate cake and going out to get dinner or ice cream with his staff.

Andy was also known for having an extensive sock collection that he would proudly show off. He enjoyed a fun sock, as well as picture mugs, smiley faces, Gospel music, and the sunshine.

Andy will forever hold a special place in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Funeral services are scheduled for Sunday, October 18 at the Daly Funeral Home on McLellan Street in Schenectady. Visitation is from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. then proceeding to the Parkview Cemetery in Schenectady.
