I just heard of the passing of Andy, he and I were really good friends in the 80's and I had the priveledge of seeing him again a couple years ago at Cobourg Park. Rest easy my friend. Hugs & Pryers to the family.
Sorry to hear about Andy, he was always a friendly fella, he will be missed. My heart goes out to your family at this most difficult time.
To the Kolodziej family, sorry to hear of Andy's passing. Lots of fond memories from back in the Cougar and Mercantile league days. A great guy. RIP "Kooj".
Andy and I go back to the Cobourg Cougar days when I played on the team and he was the equipment mgr and trainer. Just a great easy-going guy who always had a smile and a hello at the ready. A man of few words until he’d humorously sting you with a good shot when he could lol. When you think of Cobourg, it’s people like Andy that come to mind, and who will be greatly missed though remembered. RIP
I knew him for many years.... Always a perfect gentleman... He drove me home many times when I was younger.... He will be missed by many RIP
George and family... my condolences - so very sorry for your loss- may his memory be a blessing.

I have very fond memories of the family from the neighborhood. may Andy rest in peace ....
I first met Andy in the very early 60's when he was a helper on a Fisher's Dairy truck. Were were both young teenagers and Fisher's Dairy was delivering milk to Randall's General Store in Centreton, where I lived. Needing a ride to Cobourg, I asked the driver if I could hitch a ride. Graciously he said yes and Andy and I "rode shotgun" together back into Cobourg. To this day, every time we have met, Andy and I would smile and say hello to each other. I will miss Andy's friendly face, same as I miss his brother Joe. RIP Andy.
My husband Nick worked with your dad at Curtis Products in Cobourg so we knew your family. Time flies. Condolences to the rest of the family. God Bless.
