Sanford was a gentle, private man whose many talents and abilities were used to the utmost. His insatiable curiosity took him and Marion to many places around the world and gave them much joy which they shared with family and friends through wonderful pictures and films. An exemplar to his family, he made the most of his life and lived it joyously. Sanford was one in a million, and I shall ever be grateful that he was my uncle!
