Andrew Scribilo

Andy will be dearly missed by his children, Tiffany (Jason) and Phillip (Alanna); his beloved grandchildren, Lettie and Nate; his longtime partner, Evelyn; and his faithful dog, Eden. He is also survived by his brother Jim (Deb), sisters Catherine (Ron) and Darlene and sister-in-law Sharon. Andy loved his nieces and nephews as if they were his own children: Tracy (Shaun) Gustafson, Lena (Rod) Alexander, Rob Scribilo, David (Lana) Hales, Andrea (Inno) Laur, James Scribilo, along with a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Andy was predeceased by his parents, Andrew and Helen, and his brother, Edward.

Andy was born in Kenora on March 12, 1961, and grew up in the north end known as “Cabbage Flats.” He attended Beaver Brae Secondary School, where he played many sports, with football being his true passion. Andy loved his high school years and formed friendships through sports and school that would last a lifetime. He later passed his love of sports on to his children, finding great joy in coaching hockey, ringette, soccer, and baseball.

After high school, Andy attended Confederation College in Thunder Bay, where he completed the Electronics Engineering Technician program. After completion, he found work at the Kenora Paper Mill until an opportunity with Bell Canada came his way. In 1984, Andy packed up his green Volkswagen Beetle, said goodbye to the mill, and headed to Schreiber, Ontario, marking the beginning of a lifelong career with Bell. Andy later returned to Kenora, where he served as the area manager until retirement.

Andy had a deep love for his community and was especially proud of his Ukrainian heritage. He was a familiar and welcome face around Kenora, known for his kindness and generosity. After retiring, Andy devoted much of his time to serving others through his work as the President of the Chamber of Commerce and through his membership with the Knights of Columbus and the Kinsmen. A true pillar of the community, he was always willing to lend a hand - whether delivering Christmas trees, selling tickets for countless events, cooking lobsters, or volunteering wherever help was needed - often with his dog Eden, riding alongside him. He approached everything he did with a genuine smile and went above and beyond to help anyone in need, whether family, friends, or strangers.

Above all, Andy will be remembered for his dedication to friends and family. Andy loved his regular coffee catch-ups with the guys, always enjoying the laughs, stories, and just being together. Andy was especially close to his big brother Ed, whom he greatly admired and looked up to. Together, they shared a lifelong bond filled with laughter, loyalty, and more than a little mischief, often finding themselves in trouble and with plenty of stories to tell afterward.

Andy loved with all his heart and gave everything to the people around him. This is especially true of his support for his children and grandchildren who could always count on him. Being a dad was the greatest joy of his life and nothing made him happier than passing along his knowledge and his love of the outdoors to his kids. Andy always looked forward to and loved his annual moose hunting trips, making lifelong memories with family and friends. This tradition will continue to live on in his children who from a very young age, developed the same passion Andy had for the outdoors. In later years, becoming a grandparent brought him a new and special kind of happiness. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, soaking up every moment and getting caught up in their adventures.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests any donations be made to Kenora Kinsmen Club in Andy's memory.
