I discovered Sandy's tragic story while doing some research on another subject. I used to work at USC many years ago and remember the great reputation the film school has. Sounds like USC and Sandy were a perfect match. My thoughts and prayers go out to you today and everyday as time only dulls the pain of such a tremendous loss to your family. No doubt the bright star that was Sandy continues to shine each night on us all.

Dear Mimi, Scott and Zack, I am sorry I am just finding out about the tragic car accident involving Sandy. His website is a beautiful tribute to his beautiful spirit. Although I did not know him, I can only imagine through your descriptions that he was an amazing, unique young man. Be comforted that he is in his namesake, Granfather's arms and my mom is standing right nearby. Please accept our condolences and Scott, please pass this on to your mom for me. I wish that our kids had the chance to meet. They ended up being only 3 months apart. I send you peace and love my friends.

Dear Scott, Mimi and Zack,

There are no words to express how truly sorry I am for the loss of Sandy. I remember like it was yesterday, Scott introducing me to both Zack and Sandy years ago. And how proud you were of them. Scott and his 2 best friends that's what I remember. There was always this special kinship between you and your boys. Sandy, was someone special, someone to admire, to be like. This will never change. He lives on in our hearts and minds forever. And I am just lucky to have seen the kind of love that your family shared. Sandy was truly a very special person and no matter what he chose in life would have soared. He will now and forever be our shining bright light. A star in our skies always.

All My Love Always,

Dear Mimi, Scott, and Zack,
My deepest condolences go to to you and your extened family for this horrible loss. I was a part of the University School famliy for three years and although I did not know your son personally I have many friends that did, I can asure you that he was very loved and that he was very good at what he did.

Howard Liebman

March 17, 2010

Scott, Mimi, and Zack, to begin, my thoughts are with you. I wanted the three of you to know how special Sandy was to everyone he came in contact with in his life. I was Sandy's assistant principal at Sagemont Upper School and was continually amazed by his personality, sense of humor, zest for life, and willingness to takes risks. I can recall many educators thinking he would not even graduate from high school. Well, he certainly proved them wrong! On a daily basis, I witnessed Sandy's ability to "rise to the top" and accomplish anything he put his mind to.
Please know that my thoughts are with the three of you and can feel the pain and sorrow the three of you must be experiencing. I feel truly blessed and honored to have known Sandy as an educator and friend.

I can't find theproper words to comfort his family other than to say he is whereGod wanted him, in Heaven, with his Aunt Patti, the love of my life, who pre-deceased him by a short few weeks. Scotty, Zack, Bruce, I love you and will miss Sandy unti I join him and Patti in God's Kingdom

Dear Mimi, Scott, and Zack,
I do not know if you remember me, I worked with Mrs. Rosenberg (Bandman) at The Baudhuin Oral School. I was fondly called "Miss D" from Sandy. Ms. Bandman informed me of this terrible and horrible loss. Sandy was in my first class and he will never be forgotten by me. I will always remember the ray of sunshine for whom I would save scrap papers, etc.. for him to create his next masterpeice with. He was the reason that I wanted to come to work every day although it was not work with Sandy. His light and joy that was given to me years ago remains with me to this day. My heart goes out to you and your wonderful family.

Dear Mimi, Scott and Zach:

My heart aches for all of you. The service yesterday was the most beautiful tribute to not only Sandy's life, but to how special the three of you are to have shaped, fostered, and loved this incredibly special young man. Zach's and Scott's eulogies showed everyone in the room how blessed Sandy was to have a Mother, Father and Brother like you -- and how blessed you were to have had Sandy in your lives. The overwhelming and breath-taking show of support from your friends, family and the community at the service is a testament to not only the extraordinary and remarkable life that Sandy lived, but also to how much you three are loved. I hope that brings you comfort during these darkest days. You are all in my constant thoughts and prayers.

Sandy was one of the brightest, kindest, funniest people we have ever met and a joy to be around. We used to wonder if he even smiled in his sleep because he looked so happy all the time! Our family met Sandy through Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theatre, where he entertained so many with his sharp wit, his perfect timing and his love of improv. It is so rare to meet someone like Sandy, someone who relishes each moment and each person he meets, and who looks at each day as a gift. Having the chance to spend time with Sandy was a gift for each of us and we will always treasure our memories of him. All of the kids and alumni from FLCT have cried a river of tears since hearing that we’ve lost Sandy, but I know that, because of our love for Sandy, we will all try to live our lives like he lived his: with an abundance of love and laughter, and a never-ending sense of wonder.

Mimosh, Scott and Zach,

We spent time with Sandy in Fl. and Israel. To know him was truly to love him. He filled the room with laughter, warmth and joy. Thinking of him as gone is beyond reason and the distance from all of you makes it all the more difficult. We were lucky to have this too brief and precious time with him...

You are all in our hearts and minds.

We love you deeply,

I had the pleasure of spending a little bit of time with both Sandy and Zach as young boys in the country. You have two wonderful children and Sandy made an impression that will last a lifetime. I know that will never be enough, but his legacy will live on through you.
My heart hurts for all of you. I am so so sorry.

Scott, Mimi and Zack, and the Whole Family,

What was most remarkable about Sandy was the absolute knowledge that he was an example of true happiness. He got that mostly from the love of the three of you. As lucky as we all were to know him and have his light in our lives, he was also lucky to have such a warm, loving and supportive family. Life will never be the same knowing that someone like Sandy can be taken from us like this. Our love, prayers, support and sympathy are with you, now and always.

Dear Scott, Mimi and Family,
Remember that July 4th party when you all were over here ... and a young Sandy enjoyed my records, gave me a drawing ... Scott, when you spoke about your boys, you beamed. I would give anything to remove your shock, grief, sadness and devastation. (I've been there.) With love,

Marc & Elena Finer

Sandy was one of the original members of Child's Play along with our grandson Max Fabian. He spent a lot of time at our house, and Sandy was one of the most loveable, talented kids of the group. Maybe God needed a new director so he took Sandy. Our hearts go out to the entire Roberts family

I worked with Sandy creating a video for the Boys and Girls Club during our Junior year of high school. Our team projects were a blast with him, and honestly, he taught me some excellent Final Cut Pro techniques that my own father, who used to edit video for a living, couldn't teach me.

I didn't go to school with him, but our time together was unforgettable.

Roberts Family,

I have never met you all, but I had the amazing privilege of meeting Sandy on our very first day at USC Freshfest. From that moment, I had always respected and admired Sandy as a generous, genuinely happy human being. Working with him on "Playtastic" gave me the opportunity not only to work with a tremendous editor, but go on one of the most memorable trips of my life to San Francisco. I know that Sandy will always have a place in not only my heart, but everyone who knew him here at USC.

As parents, words can never express the sadness we are filled with for your loss. Having two sons ourselves, we can only imagine the pain you must be going through.

Thinking about the games at the Wildcats soccer field, Corey going to Sagemont School and Lance to University School with Sandy, brings back all the good times and memories we shared. We still remember his smile. He was so friendly, polite and considerate.

. The headline read, “Florida Man, 21. .. Sure he could vote, fight, and drink legally; but this was a boy. The same boy with the incredible sense of humor, and the wondrous look of happiness when you saw him The same boy who performed with Eric at open mike night at the Improv-at age 15, and created humor together at Improv and on YouTube. I enjoyed making him laugh, as I knew I had a good audience. His friends love him and already miss him. Our lives were and will be enriched for having known him.

Mimi and Zach,
Just wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. I had the pleasure of meeting Sandy years ago when he was still in high school. He was always laughing and kidding with his brother, Zach. My thoughts are with you all.
