Norman Jennings Sandberg passed quietly away on Friday, August 10, 2012 at Greystone Manor in Maple Ridge B.C. Norman Sandberg was born in Lone Butte (formerly Fawn), BC., on August 5, 1929.
As a young man, he spent time in the merchant marine where he learned his skills as a rigger, which led him on to his career as an Ironworker. His skill in the trade had him become an examiner for the Ironworker’s Union and subsequently an instructor at the Pacific Vocational Institute (now the British Columbia Institute of Technology) as an instructor. From there, Norman’s career moved to that of being a site inspector for the Workers Compensation Board (now WorkSafe BC).
He was predeceased by his wife Helen and son Wayne, and survived by his daughter Sherry (Ken) and grandson Richard; son Gary (Dorothy), daughters Deborah (Scott), Lorna (David), Carla (Daniel); brothers Ralph and Don, sister Sylvia and their families.
