SandBox! Our family friend! So sad to hear of your passing but glad you are in the arms of our precious Lord. You were my first "Uncle" and David, your son, my best friend in my early years on Wight Place in Tenafly....I did not have the courage to come say goodbye after 40 years. My Dad also sends his love and we bless your soul and your flight up to heaven!
