Andrew Paul Sanchez

Dearest Andy, Recently, I had a dream about you-one so vivid it led me to search for your name. Among the countless Andy Sanchezes in the world, finding you was effortless. All I had to add was "Castle Park Trojan," because once a Trojan, always a Trojan. The dream took me back to the first time we met, nearly 50 years ago. You were recruiting players for your Little League team, the Eagles. I was pitching a no-hitter when I noticed you and others watching intently behind the backstop....

I was a proud graduate of the Learning Center, and at the time, my son was just one year old when I walked across that stage in 2006. Mr. Sanches was always there, pushing me to finish school, never letting me give up. I´ll never forget the time he told me I should become a real estate agent-I laughed and told him, "That´s not for me." Now, nearly 20 years later, here I am, living the very path he saw in me before I ever did. Thank you, Mr. Sanches, for your tough love, your guidance, and...

I found out about Mr Sanchez passing shortly after it happened and my heart broke. He was one of 2 at PLATO that pushed me to graduate. Not just one time, but 6 mos early. He was always such a positive light in my teen years. To all whom remember him fondly...keep doing so, as it keeps him alive within us! May your giggle be heard and smile be seen in our memories for decades to come.

My deepest sympathy to All your family. May GOD give you peace. I know I am really late saying this to your family. But is just found out and it saddens me deeply. Andy was always so kind to me in high school. Rip.

I was privileged to know Andy, not at all as one of his team-mates, but as the guy who sat next to him, during Senior year Civics. My diving (on the Swimming team) hardly produced a comparable following, so I settled for the daily proximity.

As a BMOC, Andy was exceptionally humble, even in the glare of his manifest sports accomplishments and larger county-wide recognition. Among others of our class’ athletes lettering in multiple varsity sports, Andy’s humility was the ‘epitome...

I played ball in high school . He was a great team player. We won a lot of games back then. Happy to hear he made it to the bog show in football. Always remembered a a friend. Steve west.

I was with family talking about the different pro football leagues because here in Arlington we are getting a XFL team and i remembered coach Sanchez played with Larry Csonka in the WFL. I just googled Andy Sanchez and saw the horrible news. I still tell people about "4th quarter". Thanks coach for taking time to turn a bunch of knuckle heads into men. SUHI class of 90

Dearest Andy,
Recently, I had a dream about you which prompted me to google your name. Given the hundreds, if not thousands of Andy Sanchez's in the world, it didn't take long to find you. All I had to do to narrow my search was to add Castle Park Trojan. Once a Trojan always a Trojan. And, the dream: It was the time you were recruiting me to play on you're Little League Baseball team, the Eagles. That was the first time we met around 50 years ago. I was pitching a no-hitter and I saw you...
