Title: Lost one of our own Post by: RGBaker on September 07, 2005, 07:03:50 am Geoff Sanderson was a garage owner, a decent guy, father of two young sons and a Fiero fan; he passed away last week, victim of a heart attack whilst driving to work.
Sanderson Motor Works in Vanier specialized in imports, but Geoff and his wife both drove Fieros -- arrive at his shop in a Fiero and he'd roll the Mercedes out the door to get you up on the lift quick as you please, and if he had a time limit to how much he'd spend explaining to a do-it-yourself Fiero owner, I never found it. A great loss to his family, his friends, his community ... and us. Best wishes to all.

It is always hard to take when it is a younger person and when there is a young family it is hardest.
I hope that somehow the family and friends can rally round to help the wife and kids out. They are in for a tough time. If you know someone there please pass along all our respects and sympathies; I am sure I can say that for everyone on this board.

Best wishes to the remaining family. Aaron . Title: Re: Lost one of our own Post by: dguy on September 07, 2005, 09:58:48 am The Ottawa Citizen appears to have an on-line obituary for Geoff, and a "guest book" where you can leave messages for the family.

The sad thing is that there was an ambulance depot like 100 feet away and they still couldn't get to him on time before his heart stopped, very sad.
