Obituary of Andrew Joseph Wirth

Our family is heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather at the age of 77. Andy leaves behind his wife Pat of 54 years, and his children Terri (Scott), Tracy (Chad), and Andrea (Mark).  Brother to Joseph (deceased), Mary, and Anne (Bruce).  Adored and loving Papa to Kaylin, Drew, Lucas, Cole, Evan, Andy, and Alex.

Special thanks to the amazing palliative care team at McNally House Hospice in Grimsby. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to McNally House Hospice in Grimsby, or St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church in Smithville.
