JOHN PATRICK SASS It is with great sadness and sorrow we announce the sudden passing of John Patrick Sass on Sunday, November 23, 2003. John is survived by his daughter Carley; father and mother Stan and Marge; sisters, Connie (Rick) Clarke, Janice (Jim) Sandison and nieces and nephew, Jessica, Jillian and Jamie. He is also survived by Carleys mother Sherry Sass; his auntie Josie Roshka; cousins, Virgina and Mathew (Michelle) Blondin and special family friends, The McCorries. He was predeceased by grandparents, Albert and Rebecca Chapman and John and Sophia Sass. John was born February 2, 1961 in Winnipeg and grew up in Dauphin and then Montreal. He returned to Winnipeg with his family in 1974. After school, John started working at Metro Drugs and then got on at CNRail and then on to VIA Rail celebrating 24 years this year. He loved his work and made lasting friendships with many of his co-workers and had wonderful memories and nicknames from his time on the job. Johns favourite times were spent at Grand Beach at the family cabin, puttering around, walking, sitting on the beach people watching and partying with his buddies. His family was very important to John and he enjoyed the many family gatherings and adventures. His pride and joy and the love of his life was his daughter Carley, always keeping only a phone call away. John was so happy to be able to spend time with Carley, watching her grow into a beautiful young lady, and being involved in her life and many activities, her basketball, soccer, school and social life. Johns generous spirit, sense of humour, warm smile, ceaseless patience and his willingness to help others will always be cherished and missed by everyone who knew and loved him. Memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 29 at 11:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Johns memory to a charity of ones choice.
