Sending heartfelt sympathy to Peggy, Mark, Colleen and all the family and friends of Andy. My kids loved riding their scooters down to Andy’s to admire his beautiful birdhouses. It was always a pleasure to meet Andy going for a walk and hearing his stories. He will be greatly missed.

I’d like to extend my sincere condolences to Peggy, Mark and Colleen and to his entire family.
We grew up next door to Andy and Peggy. Because they had the store, we saw them on a daily basis. Andy was a very pleasant man with a great sense of humour. He always worked hard and enjoyed the outdoors, whether it be going for a walk or picking berries.
Rest in peace, Andy.

Our condolences to Peggy , Colleen , Mark and all the family on your loss of a great husband and dad. During the years when my mom was at Lions Manor Andy and Peggy sat with me for hours when Peggy visited her sister Theresa. Andy always said how he loved listening to my mother because you never know what she would say, he always laughed at her. A very nice man , may the days ahead give you some peace as he is no longer suffering. May he RIP.

Peggy and family, my sympathies to you at this very sad time. May you be comforted with fond memories of this good man. Always friendly with a gentle and quiet demeanour. One of the best around. A real country man that enjoyed all the best things in life, like the tranquility of a red bakeapple mash, a peaceful walk in the woods on a sunny day. Or in his spare time building quality birdhouses for his pristine front yard oasis. Who lived the good life, always with respect for nature and for others around him. He will be missed.

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of Uncle Andy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know it was hard for him when Mom passed almost a year ago now. He always visited our home and I have fond memories of him growing up. Mom always praised Andy for his courage and “gumption” as he fought sickness over the last years. She often told me that he kept going, looking his best, when many others would have given up. On a visit to the Cove the summer I was happy to see him on one of his walks and stop and have a chat. Another fine man gone from the Cove. Rest in peace

Sincere condolences to Peggy, Colleen and Mark , children and grandchildren and all extended family of Andy.
I remember Andy as a great descent Cove man that was a neighbor of mine growing up, one you could depend on.
I remember when I was little my father cut his foot with the axe and he shouted to me go get Andy, Andy was there.
And when my grandmother [Coffey] passed away at our house in Patrick's Cove on Boxing Day, Andy came to our house and stayed all day, my mother and father appreciated that so much.
Over the year's it was always so good to run into Andy and listen to some of his stories.
His creativity was boundless he made the most beautiful bird boxes 'I'm glad I have mine to admire and cherish.
Well Andy we will miss your presence in church and seeing you heading to Gooseberry for your walk but you have inspired many and hope you will live on in the Cove in spirit.
Rest softly.
Agnes and Andy Careen.

Sending condolences to Peggy, Colleen, Mark, and all extended members of the McGrath family as you mourn Andy’s passing. Another fine man gone from the cove. Mom and Dad always enjoyed having a chat with Andy and I’m sure both Andy and Dad are catching up and reminiscing now about days gone by up in heaven.
