Andy will also be fondly remembered by his siblings Diane Baker, Delores Belkosky (Charlie

2020) Cathy DiBardino 2017 (Enzo), Shebba Willet (George 2023) as well as his many nieces

and nephews.

Andy spent most of his working life in the mines, a career that reflected his strong work ethic

and resilience. Outside of work he had a true passion for scrapping and finding value in stuff

when others might not. One of his favorite sayings was “One man’s junk is another man’s

treasure” and that perfectly captured his outlook on life with his ability to see the worth in

everything and everyone.

We the family, would like to thank all the staff on 5 West at Albright Manor in Beamsville for all

you kindness and care for our dad in his last days.

Andy will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

Cremation has already taken place per Andy’s wishes. A Celebration of Life will take place in

Spring of 2026, details to follow.
