Andrew "Butch" Masiero

December 16, 1949 ~ July 5, 2026

Andrew C. "Butch" Masiero, Jr., passed away peacefully in Newburgh, New York, on July 5, 2026, at the age of 77.

Born December 16, 1949 in Newburgh, NY, Butch was the firstborn child of the late Andrew C. Masiero, Sr. and Helen Masiero. He grew up alongside his siblings, Darlene, Doug, and Louie. He attended Saint Francis of Assisi School in Newburgh before graduating from Newburgh Free Academy.

Butch was predeceased by his beloved wife and longtime sweetheart, Karen, whose love and partnership remained one of the greatest joys of his life.

He is survived by his son, Anthony Masiero, daughter-in-law Lizzy, and his grandchildren, who reside in North Carolina. He also leaves behind his siblings, and extended family.

A familiar face in the New Windsor community, Butch spent several years bartending at the Minute Man Tavern. He later fulfilled his dream of owning his own business by opening the Stop Light Bar & Restaurant in the Five Corners section of New Windsor. Over the years, the Stop Light became much more than a neighborhood bar and restaurant. It was a gathering place where friends became family, stories were shared, and lasting memories were made. Butch took great pride in serving his community and welcoming everyone through the door.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Butch's life on Thursday, July 9, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Brooks Funeral Home with a service taking place at 6:30. A private burial will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Butch's memory to the American Cancer Society or the Humane Society of Walden.
