John Alexander (Sandy) Ross
1942-2021
The family is saddened to announce
the passing of John Alexander “Sandy” Ross on December 31,
2021. Born on March 23, 1942, he was the son of the late Joseph and
Priscilla (Fraser) Ross.
Sandy spent 39 years as the Meat
Manager at Sobeys grocery store. After retiring, he joined the
McAdam’s Funeral Home team for several years, until he
retired fully. Throughout his life, Sandy was dedicated to his
community. He was a founding member of IAM (Christian
Ministries) Inc. working with underprivileged children and people
living with disabilities and was a board member up until his death. He
was interested in ministry to men and organized Men’s Prayer
Breakfast as well as serving on many church boards and committees over
the years. He loved golf and hockey but most of all he loved his
family, holding a special place in his heart for his
grandchildren.
Sandy will be missed by his loving
wife of 60 years, Myrna (nee Preston); his children Paul (Susan), Todd
(Jennifer), and John (Lynn); grandchildren Benjamin, Corey, Victoria,
Alexandra, Calvin, and Philippe; siblings Aubrey McLeod (Harold),
Dorothy Ann Wilson (Robert); brother-in-law Bernie Preston (Phyllis);
sister-in-law Mary Brace as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and
friends.
In addition to his parents, Sandy
was predeceased by his brother-in-law Roy Preston, sister-in-law Zita
Preston, and sister-in-law Wilma Keoughan.
There will be a graveside service
in the spring to honour Sandy’s life. In lieu of flowers,
donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or IAM (Christian
Ministries) Inc. would be appreciated by the family.
