Andy Hawkes
The Josie Foundation would like to honour a long time Board Member and Friend of the Foundation.
Andrew Hawkes passed away on Saturday, April 3, 2021, following an extended illness.
Andrew, or Andy as most may have known him, was born in Newcastle, New Brunswick on September 15th, 1943 to his late parents Rev. Cyrus Alvin and Marjorie (Baldwin) Hawkes.
He was a graduate of Rothesay Academy and The University of New Brunswick (1964). A career in engineering and management followed shortly afterwards, living and working in Canada, Jamaica, Florida, The Philippines, England, and India. Andy moved back to Canada in 2006 to work in Halifax, and retired in 2009 to Blackville, NB.
During his retirement, he became active in local and provincial politics, first serving on the MRDC Committee, and then becoming the mayor of Blackville from 2013 to 2016. Andy also served on the Board of Directors of the GBRC, as well as the Josie Foundation. He attended Trinity Anglican Church, where he served on the vestry, was a member of the corporation, and a synod delegate for the parish of Derby and Blackville.
In addition to his community interests, he was an avid student of the history of New Brunswick and family genealogy. Andy was a great fan of hockey, particularly his previous hometown Tampa Bay Lightning. He also had a lifelong connection to St. George and Lake Utopia and greatly enjoyed spending time there with family and friends.
He will be greatly missed by many of us, and particularly by his family and close friends across New Brunswick who had the opportunity to know him well.
