John Sanderson (Sandy)

Peacefully in hospital on 22nd April 2021, John aged 74 years of Rishton. The much loved dad of Mark, Tina, Nicky, Jonathan and Michael, a cherished grandad, dear brother and a well respected relative and friend to many.

John spent his working life as a self employed plasterer, known to most as Sandy. He was young at heart and always one of the boys. Sandy loved to be out socialising and could often be found enjoying a drink whilst catching up with his many friends at the Working Mens Club. He loved a flutter on the horses and was a very popular and well known local face in Rishton.

He will be sadly missed by all of his family and friends.
