Andy will be missed by so many friends and neighbours.
Mom and Dad (Jean and Alex McComb) always looked forward to their standing Tuesday visit to play cards and have some lunch at Tim’s or home. The afternoon drives with a stop in Parkhill for coffee and a sandwich or donut to enjoy in the shade of the gazebo when they arrived at the cottage. Weekends in July spent at the Tri County Heritage Show in Ilderton. Visiting family, splitting wood and cutting grass. Gathering, grading and delivering eggs. Andy leaves a great legacy in strong family and kind and memorable deeds.
He will be missed.
