Obituary of Andrew Llewellyn Brink

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father Andrew Brink. Andrew passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Friday, November 2, 2007 at the age of 84 years. Andrew was born in Saskatoon, SK on September 23, 1923. Most of his younger years were spent in Lethbridge. In 1942 Andrew enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces and was involved in the liberation of the Netherlands. Upon returning home Andrew moved to Calgary where he met the love of his life Beryl. Andrew’s sociability made him a great salesman which he was for almost thirty years. He loved the outdoors especially the mountains where he enjoyed camping, hiking, skiing and gold panning. Andrew was a voracious reader. Predeceased by his wife Beryl, Andrew is lovingly remembered by his five children and their partners, David (Jane), Deborah (Tim), Liane, Stephen (Lori), and Carol (Tux).
