Feb 25, 2018
With heavy hearts we announce Sandro's passing on February 25, 2018 after a year and a half long battle with cancer.
Born and raised in Timmins, Ontario, Sandro fulfilled a lifelong dream of joining the RCMP after graduating from university. While in training in 1986 he met his future wife Linda Downs. They married in 1988 and have two children, Greg (24) and Lia (21).
Sandro was a proud Mountie, serving as Superintendent in charge of criminal intelligence for the province of BC upon his death. Sandro was fiercely devoted to his family and proud of his Italian roots. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by his parents, Battista and Elsa, sister Tina, niece Alexa, Zia (aunt) Dema and Uncle Don along with many other beloved aunts, uncles and cousins.
He will be missed also by Linda's large family, including her parents Vi and Ed and her brother Allan and his family. A large circle of close friends also mourn his loss.
Sandro will be remembered for his strong work ethic, sense of humour, storytelling and listening skills and his keen interest in and knowledge of a wide variety of topics, especially pertaining to military history and politics.
He loved good food, good wine, travelling, staying physically fit and being outdoors.
The family would like to extend sincere thanks for the kind and compassionate care Sandro received from a large team of medical personnel during his illness and to all the friends and family who provided love and support.
