He was born on May 16, 1950, in Youngstown, the son of the late Andrew Michael and Philomena Rose "Phyllis" (Mastadonna) Martinko, Sr.

Buzz graduated from Campbell Memorial High School in 1968, and soon after started working for the American Packaging Company on the assembly line. He then worked for Southside and Northside hospitals in the maintenance department until his retirement.

For his entire life, Buzz was the world's greatest Cleveland Browns fan and an avid golfer. He belonged to the Eastern Orthodox Men's Golf League where he shared many laughs and memories with friends. He enjoyed watching Old-time movies, especially Westerns, and anything involving Star Wars, Superman, and Batman.

Andrew married the love of his life Mary Christine "Tina" (DiSalvo) Martinko on October 11, 1980, at Saint Dominic's Church. Besides his wife of 45 years, Andrew will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his son Derek J. (Christina) Martinko of Flemington, New Jersey, his daughter Alicia R. (Stephen) Orr of Boardman, and his three grandchildren who were the light of his life, Brayden and Augusta Martinko and Ethan Orr. He also leaves his sister Mary Catherine (Ronald) Zockle of Canfield and his sisters-in-law Nancy DiVito, Toni DiSalvo, Judge Renee DiSalvo (Michael) Ramun and Jamie (Don) Patrick.
