MORTON (GARY) SANDS It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to our father, grandfather, and great great-grandfather Gary. He passed away peacefully on Monday, December 23, 2013 at the age of 78 years. Left to survive Gary are his son Dale Sands of Saskatoon; daughters Beverly Smith and husband Alan of Perrysburg, NY USA, Val Geeregat of Baldur, MB and Billy-Joe Geeregat of Baldur MB; son Erroll Sands of Winnipeg; brother Ronald Sands of Brockville, ON; two sisters, Merla Miles of Nepean, ON and Doreen McMillan of North Augusta, ON; brother-in-law Andrew Nick and wife Betty Nick of West Bank, BC, Henry Nick of Portage la Prairie, MB, Madeline Bryant of Calgary, AB; as well by five granddaughters; one great-granddaughter; and several nieces; nephews; great nieces and great nephews, spanning across Canada. He was predeceased by his wife Agnes Sands (nee Nick) in 1993 after 34 years of marriage; father Harry; mother Eva; brother Merdy Sands; nephew Billy; mother and father-in-law Marcel and Clara Nick; and their one daughter Eva and son Joeseph; sister-in-law Ethel Nick; niece Sherri Hulme; and nephew Joe Nick. Gary was born in Cardinal, ON. In the early 50's he was in the RCAF stationed in Portage la Prairie, MB, where he met and married the love of his life Agnes. Gary was a dedicated employee of Air Canada with just short of 30 years of service at the time of his retirement in 1993. He was lead hand mechanic at the hangar in Winnipeg. Prior to 1982 he worked at the Toronto Airport as a ramp mechanic. On Monday, December 30, 2013 Gary's Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel of Memories in Wojcik's Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street @ Manitoba Avenue. 2013 was a hard year for Dad as he had several health problems. It is with many heartfelt thanks and more gratitude than anyone can express to the staff of the Winnipeg Paramedics and Winnipeg Fire Department, also the doctors and staff at the Grace Hospital for all their efforts and wonderful care our Dad received in his last hours of life and throughout this whole year. The family would like to say thank you, for without your efforts he would not have made it this far.
