Andrew Bolyea

Paula our deepest condolences.
You and Andrew are such a beautiful couple that Celine and I worked with and helped buy your family home.
Cancer is such an evil disease.
Truly sorry to hear this news about Andrew.

Like a cousin to me, thank you for being so kind and gentle. Sudbury misses you terribly

There are no words that can express the depth of sadness I feel for your loss…during this time of grief may you find solace in wonderful memories you had with Andrew. Sending love and strength to Paula, Henry & family

Sandy & Paul Donnelly

SO sorry to hear of Andrew's passing. My condolences to family and friends. Such a sad time for you.May the love of each other help you to heal.

Andrew is a rare man. A dedicated professional who always made time for those who sought his active support or merely his sympathetic ear.
His dedication didn’t stop at work. He was fiercely proud of his family, his friends, and his history. A life of service and duty to others that will be dearly missed.

My sincerest condolences to Paula and Henry and the rest of the family. I am Karen and Paul’s next-door neighbour in Dundas, Ontario.

I hope one day I gain sufficient wisdom to understand why those so young enter heaven’s gates far too early.

While I never met the three of you, Karen and Paul shared with me the love that Andrew had for you both. May his spirit and the love of your family and friends see you through this very difficult time.

With many blessings to all of you…..

Neil.

I extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to Andrew’s entire family, and especially to Paula and Henry.

Andrew was a rare person — the kind of person who could be relied upon, without question, when things truly mattered. He showed up. Again and again. For his family, for his friends, and for those he loved, even when no one was watching.

I am saddened beyond words by this loss. I will always carry with me the image of Andrew at the helm, steady and focused, with me out on the wire as the boat began to plane, sun on our faces, wind in our hearts. In that moment, everything worked because he was there — attentive, competent, calm. He was a gifted helmsman on the water, and that same steadiness marked the way he moved through life.

In some of the hardest moments I have known, Andrew offered me quiet, thoughtful advice — never dramatic, never self-important, always grounded. He never wavered in his friendship at a time when I had very little support. His loyalty was not conditional. It simply was.

I am profoundly grateful to have known Andrew. He was a dear friend to my family and an irreplaceable presence in our lives. Andrew will be carried in my heart, as I am sure in yours, for the rest of our lives.

I wish you strength, gentleness, and healing in this time of sorrow.

Warmly,
Kevin Vowles

My deepest condolences Paula, Henry.

Andrew was my roommate at McMaster and how lucky was I to have him to share a room with as we adapted and transitioned from high school to university student life. I will always fondly remember our laughs, our late night talks, going to the “wokery”, being snarky with him while he worked and studied diligently into the early morning hours with the lights on while I tried to sleep or him coming home late after a night out with his classmates turning the lights on and me groaning (possibly cursing) at him only for him to laugh and close the door. I will miss the battle of who was going to take our room trash out in what was a great battle of wills with an ever expanding mountain of garbage and just balancing the next bottle, cup or can on top of the garbage pile until someone caved. All that said, he was incredibly patient. I will miss him taunting me in recent years about how the patriots are way better than the colts (I live in Indiana). I will miss the occasional university night out having a beer with friends and just chilling. He was a relaxed gentle soul. Always kind, always listening. Thank you for being genuine and authentic. I am proud to know you. Rest easy friend.

I extend my deepest sympathies to Andrew's family.

Andrew and I met in the summer of 1991 at the Kingston Yacht Club JS. Alongside helmsman Kevin Vowles, I fondly remember us becoming the three amigos. Their friendship and our adolescent adventures along the shores of Kingston would leave a special place in my heart. I have continued to cherish those days with Andrew under the sun, out of the trapeze with him diplomatically telling me how to get it right. "There is nothing, absolutely nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats" -KG. Rest in peace my dear friend.
