SEALY, ANDREW "ANDY" S.
God called your name so gently that only you could hear. No one heard the footsteps of the angel drawing near… Softly from the shadows, there came a gentle call, you closed your eyes and went to sleep… you quietly left us all.
Andy passed away peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, November 26, 2015 and is finally reuniting with the love of his life, Peggy. Born in Canobie, he was the son of the late John and Gertrude (Rosengren) Sealy.
Andy drove for Grey Bus Lines and was a retired Firefighter with the City of Moncton with over 25 years’ service. He was a member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Andy loved the Toronto Blue Jays and enjoyed harness racing, hockey and playing cards especially 200, Bridge and with his love, Peggy, Crazy Eights. His biggest passion was to care for others.
