James L. Sanderson

Strong – overcoming challenges for the sake of his family, building his own business

Loving – keeping us close, yet showing us the world from Broadway to Canada to Great

Britain, gathering with his brother and sisters whenever possible

Creative – acting, building, directing, and co-creating an iconic community theater in

Columbus; cooking with Harry, Nellie, and Michele

Erudite– his delight in trivia and language led to a love of trivia games, auditioning for

Jeopardy, and successfully completing many NYT diagram-less crossword puzzles

Loyal – a steadfast Columbus Crew, New York Mets, and New York Giants fan through

winning and losing seasons

He loved well and was well loved. He will be sorely missed but will rest in our hearts forever.

We will celebrate his life at an open house at our home later this spring on Saturday, April 12, from 1:30-4:30 p.m. Donations in his memory may be made to Gallery Players at the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center (the Scheer Family Fund), Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids, or the Columbus Crew Foundation.
