I worked with and under Sandy as an AAG over 40 years ago. He was a terrific advocate and a fun person. My condolences to his family and all who loved and admired him.

I was a colleague of Sandy for twenty-five years in the OAG. Sandy is a wonderful, wonderful guy. Very much loved and respected by all his colleagues. He was an inspiration. I worked in a different bureau but I always looked forward to seeing Sandy in the lobby, elevator or corridors. We had wonderful chats. Even after I retired, I would think of him often. Ron Turbin
