Andrew Thomas Hammond

October 29, 1954 to January 24, 2021

Obituary

It is with broken hearts that the family of Andrew Thomas Hammond announce his peaceful passing on January 24, 2021, aged 66, at his home in Portugal Cove-St. Philips after a courageous battle with cancer. Andrew was predeceased by his parents, Margaret and Thomas Hammond. He will be forever loved and missed by his wife and best friend of 43 years, Sylvia; his children, Lori (Mark March), Andrea (Chad Clothier) and Richard; and his grandchildren, Dylan, Kara, Amber, Lily and Dawson. Also keeping him in their hearts, his sister Vivian (Tom Franks), parents-in-law John and Elsie Toope, sister-in-law Donna (Rod Murphy), brothers-in-law Randy (Deanna), Darryl (Becky) and David (Kelly) Toope, along with a large circle of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Andrew was an uncomplicated soul who genuinely loved life at its simplest.  He was lucky enough to retire early and got to spend lots of time with family and friends poking around outside, reading and tinkering away on various projects.  He could fix anything better than new and was always helping someone with something.  He was quiet, capable and truly one of a kind.

The family would like to thank Dr. Hurley, Fatima, Claire and all the other medical professionals and caregivers that provided assistance throughout Andrew’s illness.

Cremation has taken place.  Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic a celebration of Andrew’s life will take place at a later date.
