Lawrence James Sandry

Lawrence was born in Big River, SK on August 23, 1946, on the family farm where he remained his entire life. He had a love of farming and raising cattle. Hockey and baseball kept him entertained in his free time. When his health started to fail, he had to scale back from farming but stayed interested in what was going on at the farm.
