He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1956 and was honorably discharged in 1959 as a Sgt. E-4. He was employed by the local telephone company until his retirement in 1992. He then worked building the Cove Creek Baseball Park and was quite proud of the results.

Sandy was also a member of the North Garden Volunteer Fire Department for over 50 years, serving as Chief and President. Sandy was also a prominent member of Mount Shiloh Baptist Church and served on the Board of Deacons.

Dear Ann...and family,
It´s been an honor ...and a real pleasure...for me to have helped Sandy and you create and grow our North Garden Fire Company and its various events.
Both of you were born with open smiling faces and that´s a very appealing trait. I always enjoyed our chats.
I´ll miss your Sandy. He was a very fine man and a generous-of spirit neighbor.
Warm regards,
Fred
