June 7, 1943 – June 18, 2023

Andy passed away peacefully at RIH in Kamloops.

He spent many years in Cassiar, BC before he moved to Merritt in the late 1980s to work with Emcon highway maintenance crews. He loved it here and stayed.

He was a member of the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed baseball, bowling and curling over the years, as well as hockey. He supported the Merritt “Cents” where he was a goal judge for many years.

Over the last few years, he was fighting a losing battle with dementia. He had brain surgery on his 80th birthday, after a fall at home that he never recovered from.

Andy was well known & well loved in this community and will always be remembered for a quick smile that lit up his face.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Joan. John (Candice), Jacqueline, Joey, Johanna (Dayle), Francis (Debbie) Ron (Wendy), Sisters, Brothers, grand & great grand children and many extended family.

Funeral mass to be held at the Sacred Heart Parish in Merritt Monday, June 26 at 11 AM. Luncheon to follow.

Kindly consider donations to Canadian Food for Children or a charity of your choice in lieu of flowers.

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at Merritt Funeral Chapel.
