Andrew was born at Green Bay, Manitoulin Island on November 17, 1903.
He survived his share of childhood adventure, but found school to be
a "bother" as it interfered with his playtime. Arithmetic in all its
forms was a mystery to Andrew but his interest in reading only grew
and continued long into his adult life. Andrew and his sisters walked
to school daily, but instead of finding the walk tiresome he began to
enjoy the beauty around him. Even in his older years Andrew walked
almost daily, and continued to marvel at God's creation. In 1928, the
Wrigley Gum Corporation offered a prize of $25,000 to the winner of a
21 mile swimming race across Lake Ontario. Andrew entered, but was
defeated by the cold waters. He did, however work as a lifeguard and
trained in the Humber area and over the next four years raced again
in Lake Ontario during the Canadian National Exhibition. In his early
30's, Andrew tried his hand at acting by playing the part of a
"drunk" with the Colonel George Cox Players and over the next several
years he became an accomplished stage actor. Andrew's true profession
was in responding to God's call in his life a call he had felt for
some time. In the mid 1940's he became the pastor of the Providence
Bay Branch of the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints
(Community of Christ). Andrew obtained his Bachelor of Theology
Decree and continued to read, write, minister and serve until he
could physically no longer do so.
By the time Andrew was 90 he had performed 85 weddings, 72 funerals,
49 baptisms, served 4,800 communions, delivered over 3,000 sermons,
offered 101 Patriarchal Blessings, attended 18 world conferences, 30
week-long reunions and over 35 children's camps. His joy was being
with young people. They appreciated his wit, wisdom and genuine
caring. Andrew took his response to God's movement in his life with
great responsibility and honour. He was a man who was much loved,
admired and respected and he will be greatly missed.
"Well done thou good and faithful servant."
A celebration of Andrew's life was held at the Providence Bay
Community Hall, Manitoulin Island on Saturday, April 20, 2002.
Cremation at the Parklawn Crematorium.
Arrangements entrusted to the Jackson and Bernard Funeral Home.
