Obituary of Andrew 'Andy' Ivan Pauley

It is with great sadness that the family of Andrew ‘Andy’ Ivan Pauley announces his passing on Wednesday, July 8, 2020, at the age of 63. He will be deeply missed by his wife Jackie (née Armstrong), and his three children, Shaun (Eunju), Kendra (John), and Rachael. His greatest pride and joy was spending time with his three grandchildren: Claire & Elijah Pauley, and Kellen Ennis. He will also be missed by his mother, Isabel Pauley, of Port Elgin, New Brunswick; his two sisters, Sharon (David) Trainor and Cindy Blacklock; and by many nieces and nephews. Andy was predeceased by his father, Ivan Pauley, and his nephew, Nathan Trainor, both in 1998. Andy was born on December 1, 1956 in Sackville, New Brunswick. At age 17, he left the east coast to pursue a mechanical engineering degree at Western University in London, Ontario. Andy loved gardening, reading science fiction novels, and playing cards, but his greatest love of all was playing with his treasured grandchildren, whether it was running around the backyard with a wheelbarrow full of kids, building snow forts, catching fireflies, or just sitting in his chair to read their favourite stories. Those closest to Andy will remember his love for helping others, his passion for nachos, chips and ice cream, and his never-ending stream of dad jokes. A private funeral service will be conducted at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London with his immediate family. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in memory of Andy are asked to consider the Canadian Cancer Society or the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
