Andy was predeceased by his parents Peter and Aganetha Reimer, and siblings Johnny, Eva, Harry, Ruben and Vern. Andy was one of twelve siblings, he was born in Steinbach and grew up in Blumenort, Manitoba on his family's farm. After leaving the farm at a young age he traveled around doing various jobs in Northern Canada and USA. He eventually settled in Winnipeg where he started a family and began working for Manitoba Hydro. Andy was generous and known for his quiet, calm and kind demeanour and for his hard work ethic. He worked for Manitoba Hydro for over 35 years and even his illness couldn't force him to retire. Andy was always willing to lend a helping hand to family, friends, and coworkers. Andy will be remembered for having a creative passion for hands-on work, building and repairing just about anything; and for his hobby of gardening. Funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on January 16, 2015 at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. Reception to immediately follow.

Andy was a great man and he will be truly missed and will always be remembered. I have a lot of very fond memories of him. Losing someone we love is not easy but knowing that we have been able to be a part of Andy's life we can realize that we are blessed to have known him. When we lose a loved one on earth we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. I hope you boys take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now. After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are all the happy memories that we shared with Andy and keep them alive in our hearts and in our minds and he will continue to live on through us. His kind face remains forever in our image. May the love of family and the support from friends help you through the journey ahead. My sincere condolences to you Boys and his Brothers and Sisters - Posted by: Irene Curé (Ex ) on: Jan 14, 2015

Andy has always been a kind and sharing friend since we met 23 years ago. He has helped me to repair and build countless things. He always gave his time and knowledge freely. He even picked me up and dropped me off for work when my car was out of order. I cannot thank him enough. My condolences to the family. So sad to have him pass. - Posted by: Michael Coyston (co-worker) on: Jan 13, 2015
