Obituary of John Austin Sanderson

SANDERSON, John Austin It is with great sadness that the family of John Sanderson announces his passing on August 4, 2005, at the age of 68. John was the loving and devoted husband of Margaret (McIntyre) for 45 years, and a wonderful father to Elizabeth (Richard Price) and Jennifer (Scott Garbe). He was the adored grandfather of Emma and Erika Price and Julia and Jeremy Garbe. Caring brother of Steven. Growing up in Leaside, John graduated from U of T (Engineering) and had a successful career with Canadian Pacific, retiring as a Vice-President with CP Trucks. He then pursued various business interests, which allowed him to express his entrepreneurial side. John had a unique sense of humour and an amazing ability to connect with people. We will all remember his playful disposition, his generosity, and his positive outlook on life. He loved travel, the cottage, cats, collecting wine, and anything social. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W. MILES CHAPEL, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Eglinton Avenue East), from 3-5 p.m. and 7-8:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 7th.
