I just saw this as I had not heard from Sandy for a long time but I know he had a lot of health issues but was stoical. I used to love speaking to him from the UK on the phone. I am sorry I was not closer to him and as a carer for a friend with complex needs I was busy. I met Jean and Sandy when I was a teenager working as a room made in the Selsdon Park Hotel, Croydon in England when both were over for Wimbledon. I met them in Glasgow and London after that. I will share happy memories of both.

Wow, so Sandy was 99, my Aunt is 100 so that is a big accomplishment and I´m sure Sandy was a wonderful influence all those years. I met Sandy while I was a member of the Tacoma Kiwanis Club. He always had a welcoming face and we all enjoyed his presence whenever we got together. He will be missed by all who know him and I send my condolences to the family.

We were lucky to have Uncle Sandy spend holidays and birthdays with us after Aunt Jean died.

My uncle Sando lived life to the fullest and had no regrets-one of the many qualities I admired most about him. He will be deeply missed and always remembered.

I am 82 and Mr. Mazzei was a favorite teacher of mine at Jason Lee Junior High. I have always remembered him, though he never knew that. I went on to get college degree, teach, and become a principal. It looks like I enjoyed a similar career to his.
I send my wishes to family that they can treasure the wonderful times with him.

Sandy was my wonderful neighbor who I will always miss. He was loved by all at Tacoma Terrance.
When I first met him he gently
talked about running out of hot water, he later mention it again. I couldn't imagine why he did until one day seeing a new friend's apt I realized why. She had no hot water tank & I did! Sandy & I were sharing mine! This gentleman
Never accused me, or said a cross word to me. He was truly a gentle man. Yes, I tried to adjust my use of hot water. I will miss are talks, texts & cards we shared.

I considered Mr. Mazzei one of the "good guys" on the staff of both Jason Lee and Stadium. I was a bit of a challenge to many of my teachers but Mr. Mazzei was supportive and on one occasion helped me through a difficult time.

My dad, Gene Tone, worked with Sandy for many years at Central in the Tacoma School District and he loved working with him. I met Sandy about 4 years ago and immediately felt the quiet charisma and kindness that it sounds like he showed to everyone. I was very lucky to have known him. The world was a better place with him in it.

Sandy was my greatest fan in my 36 years as an educator in the Tacoma Schools. He encouraged me as a teacher and was my supervisor during my time as a Principal at Lincoln.
Sandy was a wonderful friend to me and other educators.
The students were his main focus because he wanted all students to have a good school experience.
Thank you Mr. Mazzei for your friendship and support.
