My condolences to the family on their loss. Sandy purchased my brother Bob's, Packards collection years ago. (Possibly thirty plus) My wife and I were on a Caribbean cruise, when at a group dinner, a man across the table declared that he restored Packards. Turns out he had been buying parts from Bob and Sandy.
May God provide peace and comfort to the entire family.

A great loss to Tucson. Sandy, always being a Gentleman, has served the needs of Tucson in many facets. An outstanding individual that was always there for those in need. His devotion to Family and Friends was second to none. Those that knew him were never hesitant to seek his wisdom and help as he was always there. He was one of a kind and will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Ciao, my friend, until God brings us together again!

Oh, my, where have the years gone? I closed many transactions for Sandy. Quality built homes. I guess that would have been in the early 80's. The Sandy Chirco & Ricky Visco days. I'd run into him periodically at the Show of Shows and he just didn't ever change. Sandy was such a character and fun to work with. My deepest sympathy to Sandy's family as you will miss him very, very much.
