THOMSON, Alexander Eddie (Sandy)

Oct. 1, 1929 - Nov. 26, 2019

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Sandy Thomson, a kind and caring gentleman. Sandy passed away at home with Margot, his loving wife of 67 years, by his side. Although he was struggling with his health he was alert, positive and engaged in life right to the end. He is survived by his 3 children, Russell (Leona), Sandra (Patrick) and Jeanne (Patrick). Lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Jim (Caralyn), Michelle (Brandon), Elizabeth (James), Pamela (Blake), Ryan (Julie) and Sean; and his greatgrandchildren, Luke, Charlie and Mya. Sandy was born in Victoria, B.C., attended UBC and graduated as a Civil Engineer in 1952. He married Margot Rive, December 6, 1952 and they moved to North Vancouver where they have lived ever since. Sandy was employed at Halse-Martin Construction Co. which he later owned with partner Roy McBride. After retirement he served on the City of Vancouver Building Board of Appeal from 1988 to 2011. He was a lifetime member of the Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. and the Vancouver Regional Construction Association as well as active in the St. Paul's Indian Church Restoration. He enjoyed singing in the Highland's United Church choir and W.V Heritage choir. We will always remember his big welcoming smile, his warm hugs and his easy conversation. A celebration of his life will be held at Highland's United Church on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at 1:00pm.
