Not sure what to say?

I was very sorry to hear of his passing. I had the pleasure of working with him on the Simsbury Public Building Committee and learned a lot from him. He showed how important it was to get things done right, even if it wasn't the easiest path to take.

Scott, Sherry, and family,

My thoughts are with you in your loss.

Dear Scot and Sherry,
Although I am far away, I think of your family often. My heart goes out to you at the passing of Sandy. He was a wonderful, loving and giving friend to my family and I will never forget his kindness to us. Sandy was generous with his time and knowledge especially when we were buying our 1st house and he helped us with landscaping and a new vegetable garden.
Sandy was a special person who will never be forgotten.
May he rest in peace.
Love, Sandra

Scott and I are grateful for the gift of knowing your father. I enjoyed working with him on the Building Committee projects particularly the Simsbury Library. He covered every detail to make the project first rate including bring a hod of bricks to the Selectmen's meeting. A wonderful hometown hero and a lover of beautiful flowers.

OUR CONDOLENCES FROM CALIFORNIA BACK HOME TO AVON...

HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON...

WE ALWAYS LOVED MR. SANDERSON AND WE LOOKED FORWARD TO IMPRESSING HIM EVERY SUNDAY AT CHURCH WITH OUR STRONG HANDSHAKES.

HE WAS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN WHAT WE WERE DOING IN OUR LIVES AND WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE.

OLIVER AND I HAVE A PHOTO TOGETHER IN CHURCH WITH HIM...

I'VE ACTUALLY HAD IT UP IN MY HOUSE SINCE OLIVER GAVE IT TO ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY THIS PAST JULY.

TAKE...

We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the Sanderson Family. He certainly was a man to admire and we know that you must have been proud to have him for a father/father-in-law/grandfather. We hope the many happy memories you have will ease your sorrow. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

To know this remarkable man has been an honor and a pleasure. My respect and admiration for "W.W." will long survive him.
