We were saddened to hear of Sandy's passing. He was a great friend and neighbour when he lived out in Winnipeg Beach in Harbour Village. Ken enjoyed sharing a Guiness with Sandy from time to time. He was a wonderful storyteller and could sing a great tune! Sincere sympathies to Betty and family. - Posted by: Cindy Parker and Ken Barker (neighbour) on: Jan 11, 2017

Sandy and I were friends for some 40 years. Sang with Sandy in the Irish Tavern Singers. First saw Sandy singing at the Norwood Hotel in 1973. We had some memorable nights, Winnipeg Irish Association, Burns Nights, Shrine Auditorium on Wellington Crescent. Rest in Peace my friend...Ken Butchart. - Posted by: Ken Butchart (Friend) on: Jan 08, 2017

I was a friend of Sandy's for many years, I worked in his area (shovel shop for four years) We were members of the Irish club, put together the Burns night's at the Irish club, and sang with the Irish Tavern Singers. Also we were in the Lodge together. Last Time I bumped into Sandy was at the Comp in Selkirk at a Scottish Night a few years ago. I am sad to hear of his passing Jack Melville - Posted by: Jack Melville (Friend,workmate, Irish tavern singers, Mason) on: Jan 06, 2017
