FUNERAL HOME

Andrew MUIRHEAD-GOULD Obituary

ANDREW CHARLES MUIRHEAD-GOULD FSA, FCIA It is with great sadness that Andy's family announces his passing on Tuesday, August 4, 2020. He passed peacefully in his sleep at home after fighting a lung illness for the last 2 years. Beloved husband of Barbara (née Cass), loving father of Jennifer and Stephen, dear grandfather of Alex and Riseley. Son of the late Rear Admiral Gerard Muirhead-Gould and Grace Riseley, brother of the late James and John, brother in law of Brian and Sandy and Terri. Andy was born in England and moved to Canada when he was 18 to study and make a life here. He graduated from McGill University and started working as an Actuary for Manulife where he spent most of his career. He loved golfing, and he played squash every week at the RCYC with a wonderful group of friends. He enjoyed his friends at the Yarborough Bridge club, where he played right up until the end. A funeral will not be held. His immediate family will say their goodbyes on Monday, August 10 2020, where his ashes will be put permanently in an Urn kept at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto. Andy's favourite charity was the United Way, but for anyone who wishes, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.

Barbara and family, we are so sorry to hear of Andy’s death. He was a great guy, with many accomplishments, a finely-honed wit and a very sharp mind, and he will be sorely missed. He taught me a lot at Manulife, and was always very gracious.

The actuaries all spoke very fondly of the parties at your home. Your warmth and great humour in welcoming the youngsters and making them feel at home was The stuff of legend.

All the very best. We are all better for knowing AMG (as he was known in those days).

Barb I will miss that sly little smile of Andys. He was always the gentleman, with Connies high jinx.

Very sorry to hear about Andrew's death. We worked together at Manulife and I have very good memories of Andy, his graciousness, his professional excellence, and his friendship.

Annually Andy invited his department to his home and we had a joyous time, enjoying his hospitality and his relationship. He was relaxed and enjoyed the company of his colleagues.

He was a good man who made a lot of friends and left a happy legacy. We were fortunate to know him.

Barbara, Jennifer, Stephen, Alex and Riseley, we will remember Andy as a welcoming and generous person who often opened his home to our family. Andy was also a warm and thoughtful friend of our parents, Joan and Hank Ballou, who valued his friendship immensely. We appreciated his insight and humour. We mourn your loss and wish love and strength to you all. With warm regards, Jeff, Susan, Melanie and AJ Ballou.

Andy's friendship has always been very special to the Ballou clan. There are so many memories of times spent together with all of us. We will remember his smile and his sense of humour. Love to all of you.
Doug and Briar Ballou
