Condolences
I am sorry to have learned of Andrew’s death. I was very fond of his mother and father and only met Andrew once on one of my rare trips to Alberta. He left me with a very positive impression. His father and my father were first cousins. I was late hearing the sad news through the “family network” and want to send my condolences to his wife Barb.

Hello Barb
My apologies for my delay in expressing my condolences on Andrew's death. I was out of town on Oct 25 and we have been dealing with our own Celebration of Life. I always enjoyed my professional interaction with Andrew during his career at Petro Canada. We was an excellent lawyer with good judgment. I have many fond memories of our hunting trips to Manning and Montana. How he managed without a passport, to talk his way across the US border to join us on one of our Montana adventures is still a mystery to me. It may have something to do with Andrew's innate honesty and integrity which was evident to anyone who interacted with him.
Safe travels Andrew.

The fact that you lived thousands of miles away didn't stop you from being a most wonderful uncle, and the world is a far poorer place now. I'll never forget a trip to Banff where you decided, on a whim, to purchase a CD of Alpen Horn greatest hits having heard someone play said instrument that afternoon. I think we listened to that CD seven or eight times on the way back to Calgary. I wouldn't say that was my most favourite musical experience, but nonetheless, whenever I hear or see an Alpen Horn, I am transported straight back to that wonderful trip. Auntie Barb, I'm so deeply sorry for your loss, and I hope that the memories that are shared, and the knowledge that people are holding you in their thoughts, is of some small comfort.
Barb, we are so sorry to hear of Andrews passing. Neil & I remember Andrew fondly. His visits to our property west of Caroline are near and dear to us and will leave wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. His great sense of humour entertained us on countless evenings around our campfire. Other memories that we cherish are when he arrived at our home one Christmas Eve dressed as Santa Claus. He was there to brighten the season for our young niece & nephew who were going through a tough time. Thank you Andy, we will always have a soft spot in our hearts for you. Safe journey, we plan to see you again! Diane & Neil Whitburn.
Barb, I offer my deepest sympathies to you and family. I was fortunate enough to consider Andrew not only a mentor and a colleague, but also a friend. Andrew and I worked together at both Petro-Canada (now Suncor) and Encana (now Ovintiv). Andrew had a passion for the law and having him as a mentor helped me to become a better lawyer. No matter how busy Andrew was, he always made time for anyone who needed assistance. Andrew had a great sense of humour and took any teasing in stride. Andrew loved the outdoors, which soon evolved into his passion for painting. When my wife (Kim) and I got married, Andrew gave us a wonderful painting of a fall mountain scene, which still hangs in our house to this day and is highly cherished. Andrew's presence will be sorely missed, but our memories of his kindness and humour will continue.I hope those memories bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Barb, my condolences. Andrew was my mentor for 20 plus years. I will always be grateful for his patience, humour and willingness to share his knowledge. He will be missed.
Auntie Barb, I'm so sorry for this loss and am sending you all my love. I remember Uncle Andy as the goofy gadget guy--there was a robot that ate change, the windshield wiper glasses, and the mini portable tv to name a few. I loved coming over for dinner and being in the company of you both, and Marty the dog of course.
Having been a friend of Andy's for 50 years was always gratifying in that Andy was a standout - he had many talents and qualities: Fantastic artist, great lawyer, and very active outdoors person (skating on Bowness Park ice on an early Christmas morning -his idea) - the list could go on. But best of all he had an outgoing and generous personality whose friendship was deeply appreciated.

Barb, very sad to hear about Andrew. He will be missed. It was a pleasure to work with him. I relied on Andrew’s. oil and gas expertise, particularly in regard to titles where he was a recognized expert. I also enjoyed just working with Andrew as he always had an entertaining quip or a humorous story. He often surprised me with his interest and knowledge in a wide range of topics.
Barb, my deepest condolences. It was such a pleasure getting to know you both in Reflections. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Ashley, Reflections 2023
Sending love to you, Auntie Barb. I remember the milkshake machine and glasses with windshield wipers as a child and then Uncle Andy generously inviting a young hippie (me) to wonderful lunches when I was working at Camp Chief Hector. I loved his sense of humour and his love of life.
Barb, so sad to hear of Andrew’s passing, but many wonderful memories of fun times together at Petro-Canada. Every single morning I’d walk past his office — “Good morning, Andy”. “If you say so”. We’d laugh and that would be the start of my day. Andrew was both a teacher and mentor to me, but also a great friend. I’m so happy we have two prized AHH paintings in our home to remind me of Andrew’s creativity, love of nature and your shared travels. A life well lived indeed. My love to you and the family.
Barb,
Andrew was such a wonderful man and I had the pleasure working with him at Encana - he was a wonderful mentor to our legal group and was a great teacher to the contract analysts and to me as one of the legal assistants in the group.

I worked with Andrew at Petro Canada and our professional relationship was strong and enjoyable as we met our corporate and legal obligations . During our relationship we developed a lasting friendship and mutual respect which resulted in meaningful debate and many laughs which I treasure to this day. My sincere and heartfelt condolences
Andrew was one of the finest lawyers and finest people I ever knew. He generously helped me many times. He will be missed by all who knew him.

My heartfelt condolences to Barbara and family. I am so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful man. I had the pleasure of working with Andrew at Petro-Canada. He was a mentor and a friend and I am very grateful to have met Andrew. Sending warm thoughts and hugs to you all.
Andrew's good cheer that he spread to all, both personally and professionally, will be remembered.
Hope you find a comfortable belly boat up there! I know the fishing will be good. Jesus told me so!
I have the privilege of having four siblings and Andrew was the closest to me in years and sentiment. Andy, also known as the Big A was a gentleman: kind, generous, and caring. His German was terrible but he was loquacious in English. He enjoyed fishing and gave me all I needed to tie flies. He was notorious for cadging flies too. He loved entertaining and putting on a supper spread, making his special Yorkshire pudding.
He especially supportive of me when I was struggling and I will always be grateful for him welcoming Margaret, my wife into the Hyslop clan. My regret is not having said how much I loved him and I will miss him.
Love to Barb
From his brother,
Mark
We will miss Andrew’s laugh and keen observations of life.
Through his art, he showed us a creative side that was well hidden in his work years. I suspect his creativity was enhanced from his fascination with the great outdoors, particularly his fishing. He expressed nature and life well on the canvases he chose to leave his mark.
We remember fondly the twinkle in his eye as he played (with delight) Santa Claus in full costume on Christmas Eve to our children, as they sat in awe on his knee. So many moons ago and yet it seems so close in one’s mind.
Our condolences to Barb and family as they grieve. We will try to concentrate on the joy he brought to life, he will be missed.
Ken and Eva Cudmore, Calgary
