Andrew Mitchell

Mitchell, Andrew ‘Andy’ Mitchell
It is with profound sadness at our loss that we announce Andrew has been reunited with his loving family. On Monday, August 10, 2026 at Southlake Health. Andrew in his 92nd year beloved husband of the late Dorothy Cunningham (nee: Earl). Loving father to his son the late Ian (Jacqueline) Mitchell and father of Anne (the late son-in-law Ian) Finch.
Sadly missed by his caring grandson Keagan and his granddaughters Morag (Vince) and Helen (Kevin) and his five great-grandchildren.
Fondly remembered by his niece, Diane (Ron) Blanchard, nephews Larry Gough, the late Billy Gough and Andrew (Lowise) Gough as well as their families in Syracuse, New York.
Forever in the hearts of his extended family and friends.

Andy was a kind and caring man with the cutest giggle and the brightest blue eyes. He was always ready to lend a hand and help out anyone in need. Andy was the youngest of seven born in Glasgow, Scotland to Andrew and Jean Mitchell. At around the age of 20 he moved to Canada and shortly after met his wife Dorothy. He started out as a meter reader for the gas company and often told many funny stories about his time on the job.
He later got a job with Rheem Canada selling water heaters. This is the career that would define Andy.
His friendly, helpful and bubbly personality made him very successful at his job. Rheem swag could be found all around their house as well as their trailer in Buckhorn. Even though Andy retired more than 27 years ago from Rheem Canada, he would still proudly wear his Rheem windbreaker heading out for dinner or a walk. He would kill a fly with his Rheem fly swatter or open a letter with his Rheem letter opener. Many of his friends and family probably had the same fly swatters and letter openers.

Andy was known for always wearing a cap, usually tartan or Tweed. Even in the long-term care home he had his collection of hats lined up on hooks along the wall so that he could easily choose which one to wear each day. Andy loved dancing with his wife Dorothy and playing hockey using mini sticks with his son Ian. He loved growing tomatoes and was quite successful at it.
Andy loved a good game of cards. He had an uncanny ability to know who had what in their hand, making it very difficult to win against him. While playing cards, he would often break into song. He knew the funniest songs. As he grew older and his memory faded, he was still able to sing all of his favorites.
Music was one of his great loves, but his greatest love of all was his family.

Cremation has taken place. A Graveside Service will be held at Resthaven Memorial Gardens (2700 Kingston Rd., Scarborough, Ontario) on Saturday September 12, 2026 at 2:30pm. If desired, Memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Online condolences and memories may be left for the family at www. RodAbramsFuneralHome.com.
