Colvin, Sanphord W. "Sant"

God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be, So He put His arms 
around him and whispered "Come with Me". With tearful eyes we watched him 
suffer and saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not 
make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. 
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best! We will 
celebrate the life of Sant on Wednesday, March 15th, 2006, starting at 
10:00 a.m. at Greenlawn Southwest Memorial Chapel, 2739 Panama Lane. Sant 
was born in Spiro, OK, moved to California and attended Arvin High School. 
He served in the U.S. Army in Korea, married his wife Barbara in 1955, 
moved to LA County in 1956 and began a 34 year work career which included 
aerospace technology for Hughes Aircraft. Upon retirement he moved back to 
Bakersfield to be close to his family. He is survived by his wife of 50 
years, two very loved pets, Hugo and Phoebe and lots and lots of nieces, 
nephews, other family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his 
mother, father, and beloved brother, Johnnie. He will be greatly missed by 
many loved ones. Visitation is scheduled for Tuesday 3:00 to 9:00 p.m. In 
lieu of flowers you may donate to Optimal Hospice. Sanphord W. Colvin 
"Sant" May 16, 1933 - March 8, 2006 Greenlawn Southwest Mortuary
