Sanford (Sandy) was born in Oak Grove, Missouri on April 18, 1923. Sanford was a proud veteran having enlisted at age 18 rising to the rank of Army Technical Sergeant in the 1347th Army Air Forces Base Unit (Army Air Corp) from 1941 -1945. Sanford was a proud graduate of the University of Tulsa in 1950 with a degree in Accounting. Sandy spent over 37 years with Amoco Oil Co (now BP) living in great places like Houston, Tulsa, Chicago, Denver and Conroe, Texas. He enjoyed over 32 years of retirement spending much it doing things he loved, traveling, household projects, building elaborate miniature train sets and playing lots of golf. He held a 5 handicap at one time and had a sweet short game! He played well into his mid 80s and could shoot his age! He will be missed by his many golfing buddies at Berry Creek Country Club and Tera Vista Golf Club.
Sandy was a loving Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather. He is predeceased by his first wife, Edwina Sanders Frick, second wife, Maxine Beck Frick, a son, Dexter Craig Frick and a son in law, Michael Templeton.
