Tribute
Andy Buckle, 69, of Osoyoos, BC, was born in Vancouver, BC, on March 4, 1952, son of the late Alfred and Elizabeth Buckle. Andy passed away peacefully, with his devoted wife Fran by his side, on December 3, 2021.

Andy/Papa cherished watching his granddaughter, Annabella Buckle, play softball and volleyball. His eyes lit up and he was energized playing golf with his grandsons, Hunter and Lincoln Ncwana and he cheered loudly at their hockey games. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren! His many nieces and nephews were truly loved and cherished by Andy.
Bean Bag tournaments will be forever in our memories – Papa!
