For a short time he worked at Burns Meats, then left to experience Europe. He spent most of the time in Kent, England, staying with his maternal grand-parents, the Ruskins. The evening before he was to return to Canada, he met his soul mate, Gill, to whom he was married for 35 years. Daughters Lynn and Kate arrived and Sandy made his home in England. He became an electrical designer in England and did the majority of his work for Arab countries. For seven years he worked out of Paris, France and flew back home to England for the weekends. Sandy enjoyed spending time with family and friends. His passions were sailing and gardening. Sandy and Gill travelled extensively and came to Canada often. Flowers gratefully declined.
