Andy was a much-loved brother to Peter (Carol), Joanne and Angela. And uncle to Shawn, Joshua and Amelia. He was predeceased by both parents, Peter and Johanna, his sister, Theresa, and his beloved pooch, Casey.
Andy passed suddenly at his home. He spent years turning his farm into his own little paradise. Andy worked 42 years at the Goderich Salt Mine, but the farm was where his heart was.
Andy was a kind, generous and giving soul who wanted the best for his loved ones. He was always ready with a helping hand or sage advice. Andy loved Sci-fi and action flics, but he was also very well read. If you got him on the right topic, Andy could talk for hours. In lieu of flowers donations to the Lucknow Adopt A Pet or Alzheimer’s Society are greatly appreciated.
Andy was taken from us much too soon, but we will forever treasure our memories of him.
Friends will be received at McCallum & Palla Funeral Home on Friday November 18, 2022 from 2-4 & 6-8 PM

I was so sorry to hear of Andy’s passing.
We worked together for many years at the Goderich Mine and I always enjoyed his views and opinions.
A truly nice guy and one I am sorry I never really got to know very well.

So saddened to hear this news. I will remember Andy as a shy, sweet, funny and lovable guy. My visits to the farm were some of my favourite memories growing up. I never became a veterinarian like i planned but farm life fascinated me and i feel blessed to have shared that love and passion with Andy, Uncle Pete and aunt Ellie.i knew Andy used to chuckle at me during times like feeding when uncle Pete would yell out to go open the gate….just remember not to stand in the middle! Good times:) Rest in peace Andy and thanks xo
I will sadly be unable to attend the service as i leave tomorrow for California but please know that all of you are all in my thoughts and prayers xo
All my love, Heidi
