Andrew Joseph “BoBo” Sorine completed life’s journey on April 24, 2024 at his home in Morgantown, WV. He was born February 22, 1943, in Brownton, WV to the late Rose Marie Lopez and Andrew Sorine.
BoBo was passionate about education his entire life, attending Fairmont State where he received his BS degree in Physical Education in 1965, and went on to obtain his MS in Industrial Safety in 1968 and Doctorate degree in Safety Management in 1975 from West Virginia University. BoBo then became a professor at West Virginia University Department of Industrial and Management System Engineering. During his tenure, he authored numerous safety-related publications and was a faculty advisor to many students at WVU.
BoBo was known to have a heart of gold, always going out of his way to help others. He was passionate about coaching, teaching and influencing his players and students to always be their best and would support them along their path through life. He loved the West Virginia Mountaineers and playing golf with his friends and TBI fraternity brothers. He took immense pride in both helping and witnessing others succeed in life. Go Yankees!
