Hogs will stop in Kingsville this year The Hogs for Hospice Tour the Tip ride will make a stop in Kingsville this year, as Kingsville Council approved the event at Monday’s council meeting. Prior to the COVID pandemic, the ride had made a pit stop in Wheatley, but due to the explosion last August, downtown Wheatley is not expected to be fully open when
July 30 rolls around. Kingsville Councillor Kimberly DeYong was thrilled that the ride will stop in Kingsville. “I’m honoured to see our town support this valuable service,” she said. “And it will be great to see the economic benefit to our businesses and community groups that have been hit hard these past two years.”
The ride takes place on Saturday, July 30 with a vast collection of motorcyclists touring Point Pelee, out to Colchester and eventually back to Seacliff Park in Leamington. The Kingsville stop will allow bikers to take a break from the hot sun and enjoy all of the food, drink and entertainment that Kingsville has to offer.

Andrew Flannigan October 21, 1958 – May 1, 2022
Andrew Barbour Flannigan, 63 years, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 1, 2022 at Hospice Windsor, with his loving family at his side. Loving husband of Leslie Bailey Nantais for 20 years. Beloved father of Sarah Rivard ( Jason), Bryce Flannigan, Meghan Flannigan (Siamak Roushan), Gwen Nantais and Bailey Nantais. Cherished grandpa of Michaela, Kylie and Robyn Flannigan, and Evan and Riley Rivard. Predeceased by his loving parents, Andrew and Louise. Dear brother of Jean Cameron (late William). He will be sadly missed by Leslie’s large, extended family in Wheatley and Leamington. He will also be missed by his furry friend Blaise, who stood watch by his side as Andy’s health failed. Andy was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He came to Canada at the age of 8 and grew up in west Windsor. He was a millwright/welder by trade, and at home a baker extraordinaire – his homemade pizza, bread and rolls were second to none. He loved the blues, rock ’n roll, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and was an avid reader. Andy was a proud Scotsman, born with the gift of gab. He was feisty, he was smart, he was funny, he was kind, and he was loyal. He embraced the good times and was a strong supporter when things weren’t going so well. He was a good man. We will cherish his memory and miss him dearly. A special thank you to all the staff at Hospice Windsor for the care and compassion shown to Andy. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice Windsor or a charity of choice. With respect to Andy’s wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation or funeral service. Arrangements entrusted to Simple Choice - Wyandotte, 519-254-2585. Online condolence and cherished memories may be shared at www. simplechoicecremation.ca If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this. – Robbie Burns
