NORTH ADAMS, Mass. —  Leo Peter Andreatta, 100, of North Adams, MA died on April 12, 2025 in Bennington, Vermont at the Vermont Veterans’ Home. He was born on January 26, 1925, a son of Robert and Pia (Cellana) Andreatta. He attended local schools.

At the young age of 18, Leo answered the call to serve his country in World War II. He served in the Philippines, Australia & New Guinea for over two years. After returning from WWII, he married Florence (Flo) Ghidotti on October 8, 1949, and settled in North Adams to begin their family life together.

Leo worked for GE in Pittsfield for over 35 years. He enjoyed family activities, gardening, playing cards, and an occasional trip to Saratoga in the summer. Leo was affectionately known as “Leftie”, throwing left-handed when playing baseball with his kids and grandkids. He led a simple, happy life with Flo and their children, and loved being at home. Leo was able to enjoy retirement after leaving GE, and remained active until recent years; remarkably, he lived to see 4 great- grandchildren born. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren’s sporting events and was their biggest fan. He was a life-long fan of the Boston Red Sox, the Boston Celtics and the New England Patriots.

Leo was known for his integrity, his love for his family, and his devout, unwavering faith in God. He was a faithful communicant of St Elizabeth of Hungary Parish for his entire life.

Survivors include his loving wife of 75 years, Florence Andreatta; his children, Donald Andreatta & his wife, Dawn of Burlington MA; David Andreatta & his wife Lauren of North Adams, MA; and Ann Boulger & her husband Bob of Clarksburg, MA.

He was predeceased by his brothers Bruno and Robert. The family wishes to thank the staff from Brandon Boulevard at the Vermont Veterans’ Home for their kind and compassionate care they provided for Leo.
