BURTON J. PENCHANSKY
SAUGERTIES - Burton J. Penchansky, 71, passed away peacefully at his residence on February 12, 2026. Born on December 30, 1954, in Middletown, NY. Burt was predeceased by his loving parents, Morris and Rita Penchansky.
He leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories with his devoted wife of 41 years, Cathy Anderson.
His brother, Joe (Ellen) Penchansky of FL, and his nieces, Rosie and Rita. Originally, Burt attended SUNY New Paltz to be an English teacher. He found himself repairing 8-track tapes to help pay for school. By doing so, he realized his calling, and decided to switch to RCA Institute for Electronics.
In 1978, he worked at B. Michaels in Kingston, NY. Music was always the soundtrack of Burt’s life. He and Cat were often found at musical concerts, reveling in the shared experience of live performances. He combined his love for music and sound by opening Burt’s Electronics in Kingston in 1985. Burt shared his craft with so many by giving his customers the experience of elevated sound. As a result, he created life long friendships with his customers. Burt had a wonderful and dry sense of humor. He loved a good impression and was a master of puns.
Burt’s love for animals reflected his compassionate nature. He and Cat shared their home with many rescued pets over the years, each one receiving the same level of care and affection as a member of the family. His Funeral Service will be announced at a later date. Arrangements are under the care of the Seamon-Wilsey Funeral Home Inc. Memorial contributions may be made to the Saugerties Animal Shelter.
