Michael Alfred Sandes passed away on Tuesday, February 16th at George Derby Centre at the age of 95. Mike was born on July 28th, 1921 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. The second youngest of eight children, he was raised on a dairy farm until enlisting to serve in World War II and was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Mike was fun-loving and a friend to all those who knew him. He enjoyed the opportunity to meet people, experience all that life offered and found enjoyment in his music and cars. He believed that his family was the most important thing in his life and provided unconditional love as father to Gail (Don) Jeffery, Warren (Sonya) Sandes and Brenda (Tim) Leclair, grandfather to Jodie, Tyler, Evan and Alex and great grandfather to Weston and Wynnlee. The family will celebrate Michael's life at a future date.
