• Notes

  SARARAS, Andrew Wilson March 12, 1937 - February 13, 2018 Andy passed away peacefully in the arms of his loving family on Tuesday February 13, 2018, at the age of 80. Loving husband of Helen (nee Swartzentruber) for 55 years. Devoted and cherished father of Lisa Norley (the late Sean Norley 2008) and Jeff Sararas (Lori Thompson). Cherished grandfather of Melissa (Kelven Nantais) and Ryan Norley and Jack Sararas. He will be fondly remembered by his sister Sylvia Sararas, sisters-in-law Rev. Cora Sinstead (the late Rev. Ronel Sinstead 2007) and Audrey Sararas (the late Alvin Sararas 2017, twin brother to Andy), and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Andy resided in St. Agatha, creating loving memories with his family and actively serving the community for many years. He was a longtime member of Unity Church, Kitchener. He was born in the town of Rocanville, Saskatchewan to his parents Wilfrid and Lillian (nee Parker) Sararas. They returned to the family farm in New Dundee when he was 5 years of age. The farm today is now the home of the Dundee Golf and Country Club of which Andy was a founding and lifelong member. He spent his entire sales career in the office furniture business, starting out at Sunar in 1956. He continued to serve his many loyal R.C. Dawson customers in the Southwestern Ontario region for over 40 years. Andy was an avid athlete throughout his whole life, playing hockey and golf well into his seventies. He played Junior B hockey with the Waterloo Siskins and was scouted by the Montreal Canadiens. He played Kitchener Intercity Fastball, and was later known for his pitching arm in various other leagues. He finished his sports career on the golf course, where he found joy and camaraderie with life-long friends. Friends are invited to share their memories of Andy with his family during Visitation at the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home , 171 King St. S., Waterloo on Saturday, February 17, 2018 from 1-3 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. The Funeral Service will be held in the chapel of the Funeral Home on Sunday, February 18, 2018 at 2 p.m., with Rev.
