Condolences & Memories (23 entries)

• Best teacher I could have ever asked for! You rock Andy! Your friend Jodi - Posted by: Jodi Hagemier (Student) on: Sep 02, 2022

• I got to know Andrew through our mutual friendship with the late Fred Bortoluzzi. We alternately called him Bunny or Bunwich, neither of which he ever reacted to. So we couldn't really tell if he was happy or sad about it. We shared a love of old Hollywood westerns, including Have Gun Will Travel, Branded, and The Guns of Will Sonnet. He sang the intro songs with perfect pitch. RIP Paladin. - Posted by: Gerry Doak (Friend) on: Sep 23, 2021

• My condolences to Marilyn, Marika and the rest of Andy’s family. Andy was a true gentleman, a kind and caring man, and a knowledgeable and dedicated instructor. He took great pride in seeing his students graduate and get good jobs in the legal assistant field! I had the privilege of working with him for close to 14 years at Robertson College and considered him a friend. It was always a delight to see Andy and Marilyn together at the annual Robertson College staff Christmas dinners. - Posted by: Rita Kroeker (Co-worker) on: May 29, 2021

• Mr. Andy was a great instructor. He was very knowledgeable, kind, caring, and patient. He was always there when we needed help, and I do not think I had ever seen him annoyed or angry. His little jokes always lightened the room. I am forever grateful to have been his student. He is one of the reasons why I am where I am now. He will definitely be missed. My deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Mr. Andy. - Posted by: Charizze I (Former Student (Robertson College)) on: May 27, 2021

• I had the honour to work with Andy at Robertson.I will always remember how he was always in a rush with his books and out the door he would go after classes. I remember I would always tell him "Andy your name tag is crooked" and he would look down and say oh, thank you. When I left RC he said that the front reception will not be the same with me gone. Well Andy I will say the same to you: all your loved ones, all your students, coworkers etc., life will not be the same without you. RIP friend and my sincere condolences to Marilyn and your family. You are in our prayers! - Posted by: Michelle (Coworker ) on: May 27, 2021

• Andy was a kind and caring man. He was truly an inspiration to me and despite the obstacles in the way, he showed up for every class and made sure his students were learning. Andy, while we were learning the basics of legal procedures, you were learning to teach remotely. You tried everyday to make sure we received the very best of what the situation had to offer. I am thankful to have met you and it was a pleasure having you as an instructor. May your soul rest in peace. You will be dearly missed by your students. - Posted by: Shavreen S.

• Andy was my instructor at Robertson College. I do believe LA1908 was his last in person class before COVID-19 happened. Andy was a great instructor, he brought us donuts because we were all doing so well. And he would slide in some jokes mid-teaching lesson. Save room for us up there for the rest of us. My whole hearted condolences. With the utmost respect, Cherie-Dawn Atkinson LA1908 - Posted by: Cherie-Dawn Atkinson (LA 1908 instructor) on: May 26, 2021

• It is with sadness that we read about Andy's passing. Going through some of the emails of the days when Andy taught at Robertson College, some good memories jumped out. One trivial but interesting reflection is that in the various lists created over the years mentioning staff and instructors at Robertson, whether one went alphabetically by first name or surname, Andy was always at the top or near the top of every list! It was also always good to see Andy and his wife Marilyn at our staff Christmas dinners. These dinners were a highlight for each of them, and for us to see them together enjoying the evening with fellow staff and friends at Robertson College. Going back and rereading the Legal Admin Assistant course outline that Andy developed and taught, one can sense the pride he had in his class and students, and it clearly reflected his competence in the topic: Corporate & Commercial Law, Legal Office procedures, Wills & Estates. Andy, what you taught your students over the years and the legal knowledge and skills that they now have, are a lasting compliment to you. Rest in peace.

• I'm so sorry for your loss, Marilyn. Andy was a gentle, quiet man who always had a smile and a kind word. He was a delight to work with. - Posted by: Debbie Sandland (Coworker) on: May 26, 2021

• I worked with Andy at Robertson College for any years. We also attended the same church when we were young. We enjoyed reminiscing about those days. I will miss his dry sense of humour and wry observations about life. Rest In Peace old friend. My condolences to his family. - Posted by: Marie Durussel (Friend) on: May 26, 2021

• I have many fond memories of after-work dinners with Andy shared over a plate of nachos or fish and chips at King's Head. He was the first staff member I met when I started at Robertson in 2010. Over time we discovered that we had many shared interests and I came to regard Andy as a friend and confidant. I will miss our talks and I appreciated that despite having to move to virtual teaching last March, we both stayed in touch. RIP my friend. - Posted by: Gerry M (Former Colleague at Robertson) on: May 26, 2021

• I had the privilege to work with Andy at Robertson college. He was a kind and caring man and befriended me when I was new at the college. I will miss our late day chats. My condolences go out to his family, friends, coworkers and students. He will be missed. - Posted by: Len Ganetsky (Coworker) on: May 26, 2021
