Sorry my buds gone. Played hockey with jr. 40 yrs ago, he was the life of the party and one of the most caring, beautiful human beings I’ve ever met. Sorry for your loss Mona and family. Mike Harrington and family.
It is with heavy hearts and a lifetime of memories that we share the passing of our much loved husband, father, grandfather, brother and dear friend to so many. Junior passed away peacefully on Saturday April 1st, 2017 in his 69th year at home with his family and friends, following a long and courageous battle with cancer. Junior was predeceased by his parents; Albert and Alma (nee Caron), his brother Gino, all of Kirkland Lake and his brother-in-law, Joe Hoffman of Tillsonburg, ON. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Mona and his cherished children, Tara (Shawn), Jordon (Chantal) and Joshua, all of Kirkland Lake. He was the very proud and much loved Nonno to Ella and Ethan LaCarte, Alexander Sandrin and Dawson Sandrin, all of Kirkland Lake. Junior is also survived by his sister Beverly Hoffman (late Joe) of Tillsonburg, ON; sister Shirley (Darryl) Richmond of London, ON, and sister-in-law Betty Sandrin (late Gino) of London, ON as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, all who adored him. He also leaves behind his beloved dog Bacon. Junior was born May 6, 1948, and with the exception of a short time spent in London ON working for the Ford Motor Company, he lived all his life in Kirkland Lake…. for the past many years at Crystal Lake in a home that was always filled with love and laughter, and a home where family and friends loved to gather…. and where his Lake neighbours both past and present were such an important part of his extended family.
Upon his Father’s retirement in 1973, Junior along with his brother Gino and Cousin George Sandrin, took over the operation of Kirkland Lake Machine & Welding, a long standing business well known across the North. Following the closure of Kirkland Machine, Junior owned and operated Nor Can Containers for many years and then in 1999 Junior and Mona purchased the Federal Tavern. It would be an environment he thrived in, people loved going to “The Fed” to have a beer with Junior and listen to him tell stories…. and an accomplished story teller he was! Wherever Junior was, you could be sure fun and laughter abounded! He lived life large and made lifelong friends where ever he went. He touched many heart’s with his fun-loving, warm personality, his infectious smile, and his legendary generosity. When you needed a favour you called Junior. When you needed advise on cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and barges….pretty much anything that had a motor, you called Junior. He had a huge heart and would help anybody, anytime.
Junior loved life, whether he was heading out on a leisurely road trip in his motorhome, or taking a rip down the highway on his beloved Harley, he embraced every second of the journey… always stopping along the way to enjoy the sights and the people he met! Junior’s greatest love was his family and his huge extended family. He and Mona were never happier then when the kids and grandkids and friends were gathered at the house. He was an exceptional father and we are so very thankful he was ours. As per Junior’s wishes aqua cremations has taken place.
The family would like to express our deep gratitude to Heather Taylor Sandrin and Darren Graydon who, during Junior’s long battle stood by our sides, being instrumental in helping us in all aspects of his care.
The family would also like to recognize and say thank you for the exceptional care provided to Junior and the support provided to the family by the dedicated nurses of the VON and the staff at CCAC. We could not have done this without you.CELEBRATION OF LIFE

To Mona and the Sandrin family, we are so sorry to hear of Juniors passing. We were away so could not attend the Celebration of Junior’s Life.

He will be greatly missed. Love Brian and Vivian Caron and family

Mona & Family So sad to hear of the loss of our beloved JR. I go back many years with Jr., We were born within days of each other in May 1948 in the old K L Hospital, and I lived up the laneway from their Poplar St address. Spent many a day with him over at Queen E. & in later years when we were hitting our teens, he was a good source of his dad’s home made wine! We will miss his smile and great attitude. May he rest in peace.
Mona, Heather, and family.. I just wanted send my condolences, thoughts and prayers.. I was hoping to make the celebration of life tomorrow to share the day and wish my buddy off, however I found out late yesterday that I’ve got roof damage and we’re dealing with excessive rain and wind in London for the next two days so I can’t make it.. I will be thinking of everyone tomorrow and I miss you already bud!.. R.I.P. see you when I get there!
Mona, Jordy and family, please accept our sympathies. When I was first introduced to him at Kirkland Lake Machine & Welding in 1982, I recall Junior’s boyish grin, his “bigger than life” personality and a funny little story I remember to this day. RIP Junior.
Mona and family, sorry for the loss of a great man. We truly miss the entertainment of Junior shopping with Mona’s list in hand. Always a laugh. A great man who always made time to chat with all of us. Cheers chum. ????
Mona, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Albert was a true gentleman and a pleasure to be around. While living, he did so much for so many of us…and in his passing, he takes a little piece of each of us with him. RIP
We are sad to learn of Junior’s passing. Our condolences to family and friends. Though he will be missed, he is in a better place.

My heartfelt condolences to Junior’s family…my uncle was George Sandrin, he was married to Helen Doyle, my mom’s sister…I was born in KL and have wonderful memories of being among George and his family…I’m so proud of being from the north, you are special people.
My condolences to Mona, Tara, Jordan, Joshua and family. Junior was a great friend to all who knew him. He and Mona always welcomed me to their home with much hospitality. He will be greatly missed by the many who knew him. RIP my friend.
Sending our condolences to Mona and family. Junior and I both went to St. Jerome School and played hockey as kids. He was always everyone’s friend, it didn’t matter who you were, he just liked everybody! I remember sometimes we would make arrangements to just hang out together but that didn’t last long as it seemed that wherever we went the girls would flock around him. Talk about a chick magnet! We would see each other off and on over the years and Junior would say “Jeeze you’re looking old” and then we would laugh and have a chat about our St.Jerome days. It seems when you are kids growing up together you meet people that you make special ties with and Junior was one of those people! We met up at Carl Duff’s funeral and both felt that we had lost a little piece of our life when Carl passed away. That is just the way I feel right now. R.I.P. My friend! Phil
My sincere condolences to Mona, Tara, Jordie, Josh and the entire Sandrin clan… Your great loss and sorrow is shared by all who are fortunate to call him a friend. Memories of junior are filled with laughter and living life large… I imagine Juniors’ life on the other side to be rich, fun, full of laughter, and Junior keeping a watchful eye on those he loved who he left behind. I toast a well lived life…To Junior , May your life on the other side be as rich and full as it was on this side.
All our condolences to the family may he rest in peace

Junior was a friend of my brother, Kim Schonfeldt. I was younger and didn’t know him well, but I remember his charming smile and sense of fun!

To Mona and Family, my deepest condolences to all of you. Junior was a wonderful man and well loved and respected by many. “Well known” is an understatement when it comes to Junior. I live 9 hours away from KL, and a few years ago I was at a hockey arena near Sarnia. There was a lady sitting next to me that was a complete stranger and somehow the subject of KL came up. She told me there was one person from KL that she had very fond memories of….it was Junior! What a small world. RIP Junior
Our deepest condolences to the Sandrin family. He certainly leaves many happy memories for all to cherish. He certainly was a people person & a friend to all. RIP Junior

Uncle June was an amazing soul, through out my struggles he always lifted me up, never judged nor doubted me or my ability to change my ways. I don’t think my parents realized how much our family would grow when they bought our property on crystal lake, the neighbours became family, a support system that helped my family through struggles & hardships. He was an amazing soul & will be missed dearly.
My deepest condolences to all of you.
