Sadly missed by his brother Colin (Arlene), his sisters Mary, Louise (Les Durling), and Elinor, and his many nieces and nephews. Andy was born and raised in Quebec City. He graduated from the University of Toronto in 1948 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Andy married Irene in 1955 and they moved to Mont St. Hilaire where he lived until his death. He was a loving and dedicated husband and father. He was well-known in the area of power systems engineering, and had a lengthy career working throughout Canada and internationally.
