I remember Sandy at dinner in the Union. Lively. Engaging. Jim White Harvard '70

We were so very sad and sorry to learn of Sandy´s passing. Our sincerest condolences to his family. What a beautiful obituary for him - a great tribute. Sandy was always a good friend and customer and we will truly miss him. He was very smart, interesting and funny, and we always enjoyed our conversations with him. Rest in peace Sandy. Roger and Kim

I have fond memories of Sandy visiting at our home on Stafford St. We always had fun, and he enjoyed the music of my Dad on guitar and my Mom singing country songs. RIP Sandy.
