Andrew Stephen Travis

Andrew Stephen Travis was born seventy years ago in Southport England and passed away after a year-long valiant battle with cancer. His devoted family was with him until the end.

He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Lori , his daughters Jennifer (Mike), Nokomi (Marek), and grandchildren Connor, Kaya and Mila. He is survived by sister Rita (Joe), and nieces Mandy (Colin), Jennifer (Maurice) as well as their children. He was predeceased by his parents Ken and Eva.

Andy's paramount interest was his family, of whom he was always very protective. One of the most important and successfully achieved goals of his life was to have his daughters be loving and close to each other.

This was a man who unfailingly stepped up to help family, friend or neighbor. Dad was actively concerned for the well being of all, even when he was not with them. This caring nature earned him the love, honor and respect of all who knew him.

He had a broad range of interests which included fishing, boating, computers, history, geography, hockey, and politics. He read voraciously and remembered in detail much of what he read. He was always happy to share his knowledge.

His surviving immediate family would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to our family physician, Dr. Hasham, for the many years of dedicated service and to our amazing oncologist, Dr Ingledew, for her continued hope and compassion.

Finally, our sincere gratitude to all our family, friends and relations for their continued love, support and positive energy.

We ask those who wish to share stories but are uncomfortable speaking to send wife Lori emails that can be printed and read out by Catherine (Life Celebrant).
