Obituary
SANDERCOTT
At his residence, Wednesday, April 7, 2004, Jack Kenneth Sandercott, in his 75th year. Beloved husband and best friend of Mary (Fairweather) for 54 years. Loving father of Jackie (Dave) Hill, Lea (Walter) Gurtner and Karen (Ken) Alexander. Doting grandfather of Erika, Ryan, Klara, Lukas, Christina and Sabrina. Dear brother of Margaret (Ross) Jef feries and Barbara (Don) Carruthers. A very proud father, Jack worked long hours providing for his family. He retired as an engineer for Canadian Pacific Railway and fondly reminisced about the glory days of steam. In his retirement Jack handcrafted
miniature grandfather clocks made to hold the pocket watches of rail roaders. His garden was extraordinary, the beds of Iris spectacular! Ever resourceful he was a genius with smal l engines. He made the tiredest engine come to life and had a collection to prove i t! He looked forward to his hunting and fishing trips to Lowbush and eagerly shared the stories of his experiences there. Jack will be fondly remembered as a genuinely nice guy. He was a best friend, a good man. Cremation has taken place. At Jack’s request there will be no visitation or service. A celebration of his life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, as an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 617 Wellington Street, London, ON N6A 3R6 or to the chari ty of your choice. A.

We were truly sorry to hear about your loss. It was almost exactly one year ago that our Dad (Don Sandercott) passed away. I remember Dad talking with fondness about the times he and Jack and Uncle Bob had spent together as Kids. Perhaps he and Dad are together again. Take care.
