Our condolences to Marlene and family. Andy and Marlene were great neighbors and we always enjoyed Andy's jokes and stories. He would always stop by the yard and investigate what Paul was up to and Cappy was usually in tow. ~ Andrea & Paul Wirtz

Dear family, former neighbours. We were sad to hear from the Dick's about the deteriorating health of Andy. We bought our home on 16 McDougall Road in 1972, and I lived there until 2011. During those years I had many good conversations with Andy and also your mother. Andy would always look out for the neighbours and alert me if something was amiss. He also helped me capture our black lab puppy when she got away from me. I have very fond memories of Andy, who loved a good time. May he have fun wherever he is now. Sincerely Penthes, Markus and Dominic ~ Penthes, Markus and Dominic Rubrecht
