He was part of back-to-back undefeated provincial football championship teams and also won the first ever BRIT basketball tournament. He later attended business school in Moose Jaw, carrying with him the same dedication and energy he brought to the field.

In 1975, Andy married his first love Terry. Together they built a beautiful life and raised two children until her passing in 2007. In 2011, Andy found love again and married Joan on May 14. He cherished their blended family and loved each member as his own.

Andy was well known for his sharp wit, easy going personality and generosity to anyone and everyone. He never minced words, and always spoke what was on his mind. But above all, he was a man of deep faith. A devoted member of Bay Park Baptist Church, Andy's spiritual life was a source of strength, purpose, and community. Whether cheering from the sidelines, asking "who's the handsomest, and why am I?", or bowing his head in prayer, Andy lived fully and loved deeply.

A celebration of Andy's life will be held on Tuesday, May 20th at 1:00 PM at Bay Park Baptist Church, 1419 33rd Street West, Saskatoon, SK. Officiated by Dr. Jerry Richards.

Andy's legacy of laughter, faith, and love will live on in all who knew him.
