Very dear Lynnie,
Knowing Sandy for even a few years was a special pleasure. He was a most engaging gentleman, intellectually impressive, with a quick wit and a delightful sense of humor. His laugh was contagious! There are no words that will provide you with the comfort I wish for you in this difficult time.
With love,

Lynne,
I offer deep condolences. Although I only knew Sandy from several brief meetings, it was always apparent that he was a special and caring person.

Lynne,
We will always remember a very special friend, Sandy. Going to Foundation meetings will never be the same. That is such a good picture of him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Uncle Sandy, If you can see this, I want you to know how much I loved and admired you. You welcomed me into your life and your heart when you married Lynne, and it meant the world to me. You inspired me in so many ways, and I am proud to have had you in my life. You will be missed by all who knew you....
With Love,

Dear Sandy,
I'll always remember how you and Lynne welcomed me to New York long ago and made me feel like family. Thank you for introducing us to fresh Connecticut raspberries, fly fishing and wonderful New York City with stories.
We will miss your kindness, your wisdom and your contagious laughter...
With remembrance and love always,
Bonnie, Bruce, Mack & Wyatt Cummings
