Not sure what to say?

Sandy was one of the most interesting people i have ever met. I learned so much from him backstage. He will be missed.

I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing - I will always remember his very endearing performance in Guys and Dolls at Interact and most especially his beautiful interpretation of "More I Cannot Wish You". He had me teary eyed every night of the run. He was a wonderful human being who will be dearly missed!

I am saddened by the death of Sandy Kenyon. He was my mother's cousin. His father was the brother to my grandfather Henry Klein. My name is Marilyn Todaro. I can be contacted at [email protected] I will call my uncle Justin (son of Henry) to let him know.

I was born in the Bronx. My grand-father Henry Klein was Sandy's father's brother. Although I only met him once at an event in LA, our family followed his career. We are saddened by his death.

Mr. Kenyon was one of the best and most recognizable character actors on tv of the 1950s through the 1980s. He'll be well-remembered by many. Thank you, Mr. Kenyon, for all of your character portrayals in so many shows.

His father was the brother of my grandmother and I only met Sandy one time - back in the early 1960s when he came to the home of my parents for dinner shortly after the death of his father. Unfortunately, I was sick that evening, and therefore, never got to spend any time with him. However, about 30 years ago I contacted him fter seeing him on a Barry Manilow special.

Sandy and my father were pals back in the Bronx, NY. They both moved to L.A. around the same time and kept in occasional touch with each other. My dad always referred to him as "Sonny", which I assumed was what family and friends called him. As a young child, whenever I saw Sandy on the tube, I would get excited and call my dad over and we'd watch the shows together. On the rare occasions when I pull out my old Bar Mitzvah album from 1969, someone always points to Sandy's picture and says,...

I'm so sorry to hear of Sandy's passing. Although we hadn't seen each other in years, the memories of him as a fellow actor at Theatre West will remain strong and fond.
