After high school he joined the Navy as a Corpsman and then finished his 20 years in the Coast Guard Reserve. He was on the all Navy softball team as a catcher. Many in the Keys knew him from his avid motorcycling on his Indian motorcycle which was his pride and joy. He was a member of the Reef Riders, American Legion Riders and Abate. Sandy was a devoted husband and father. He is survived by daughters Wendy and Francine, grand children Darryl, Dylan, Danielle, and Jeffrey, and brother Kenneth. Sandy was preceded in death by his wife, Marlene and son Geoffrey. He was a wonderful giving person who helped the lives of many others. He is a Hero and will be greatly missed.
