So sorry to hear of the passing of Sandy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all , especially Angela, at this time.
I usually met Sandy and Angie every Sunday morning at the Carousel for breakfast, after church, whilst I waited for the rest of my family to arrive.
It was a pleasure to have known home.
God Bless you all at this time.
Sandy loved taking his family out to the Carousel restaurant every week. we missed seen him the past year.Great man.

I first remember Sandy when he opened his shop at Braidwood and Park Street. I was a student at Confeferation School, across the street. Sandy would take smoke breaks and lean against the side door. He looked veey cool, and I often thought he was doing some serious thinking then. I went to him for my monthly haircuts. We had great chats. I visited him a few years ago just to say hi, and he remembered me. We had a good chat that smday too. A wonderful man! RIP Sandy!

So very saddened to hear of Sandy's passing. Having grown up in the south end I have so many memories of him In my younger years I drove race horses which Sandy love to follow He and my dad would go to the races here as well as in Toronto and I heard of a few stories from those trips! When my dad passed away he sang at his funeral which I will always treasure My son had his first hair cut with Sandy almost 34 years ago and I remember how kind and
gentle he was with him He was a man that loved to talk and could cover any topic
He will truly be missed

So sad to hear of Sandy's passing. My condolences to the entire Gemmiti family. I received my first haircut from Sandy over 40 years ago and continued to do so until his retirement and subsequent move to Oakville. I would tease Sandy that I needed to bring a notepad to write done all of the life lessons he would dole out. He would always ask about my family by name, I'll never know how he remembered everyone. His barbershop was always a place to visit, laugh and maybe even get a haircut and no matter what life was throwing at me I always left feeling better about things. That is something I will never forget. May you RIP Sandy.

My sincerest condolences to the Gemmiti family. The story of Sandy and Maria meeting on a ship to Canada from Italy reads like a movie script, but there was no acting on Sandy's part, he was the real thing and one of the back bones of a strong family and community. RiP Sandy, until we meet again

So sad to hear of Sand's passing. My prayers are with him and his family at this time. He and I were singing partners in Herbie's choir for many years. He was a beautiful part of my daughters wedding singing the Pannus Angelicus along with my brothers. Rest in peace Sandy

Tina and family,
I have many fond memories of your house on Braidwood. Your Mom feeding us pizza(the best!) and taking coffee to your Dad at the shop.
Your Dad driving us to our baseball games in his Grand Marquis which would have the radio set to an opera station (which we hated!).
Missing seeing you during this very difficult time.
Sincerest condolences to the entire Gemmiti family.

I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Gemmiti. I only met him a couple of times several years ago, but he made the meeting memorable. He was a friendly character and a true gentleman. My condolences to the Gemmiti family.

I knew Sandy many years ago when I worked at my Father's store across the street. He would come in there often and my Father and brothers got haircuts at his barbershop. He was a wonderful, caring man. My condolences to the family. May he R.I.P.

My sincerest condolences to Sandy's family. I have fond memories of going to Sandy's Barbershop as a very young child with my Dad Fred Simmons. Certainly is an honour to have those memories of a local barbershop experience with all the laughter and social discussions.
