Andrew "Andy" Konkoly, Jr.
November 26, 1945 - September 27, 2021
Son of Andrew and Julia Konkoly, Andy passed away after a brief illness at age 75. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his wife, Joyce. He has one sister, Rosemary Broses. He was a loving and proud father to "his girls," Lynette Gascoigne, Cathryn Broses, Meredith (Jim) Morgan, and Marlene Konkoly. He was the proud grandfather of eight and great-grandfather of 17. He shared a special bond with his uncle, Al Fazekas, and John Lake, his best friend since kindergarten.
Andy was a prolific businessman, thanks to his years of experience as a bank manager, sales professional, and pizza restaurant owner. He also owned Anjo Racing, a successful thoroughbred horse-racing stable, where he both raced and trained the horses.
His love of horse-racing took him around the country, racing his horses in many states. He was honored several times as the top trainer of the year during his 30 year career. He trained the winningest horse in all of North America, Governor's Ego, in 2000. He retired in 2015. Visit howepeterson.com for service information.
