Publish in a newspaper
After earning a Master's of Public Administration from VCU, Sandy retired in 2005 from a long and varied career with the City of Savannah. As a young man, Sandy served in the Navy as a Boatswain's Mate and in the Coastguard Reserves. On his time off, Sandy liked tooling around in his skiff, metal detecting, reading about history, finding artifacts and other treasures, drawing in pen and ink, grilling outside, drinking beer, and smoking pot. He is survived by his wife Sally S. Chandler, son James Chandler III, and brother Christopher Chandler. His parents, Mac and Kay Chandler, predeceased him.
Sandy loved his cats - Rags, Ernie, Daisy, Leo, Tufts, Mandy, Grable, and Cleo - and gave yearly to the Humane Society of Greater Savannah.
There will be no funeral service.
