Dear Emily,  Your dad was a wonderful, bright guy.  He had some great stories about Howard Beach and Brooklyn.  I was an Ozone Park transplant so we chatted.   I was stunned years ago when he told me his diagnosis and admired his brave tenacity to go on.  
He had many friends among the folks that hung out at the Holiday Inn.  He and Iris had tough times and yet he still could care about others and help them.
He was a fine person and will stay in my memory always as a good man, husband and father and confidant to many.  

My deepest sympathy.
Patricia De Lo

Sandy, Iris, Adam and Emily lived next door to us for years.  Sandy had a quick wit and, as stated in his obit, a dry sense of humor.  I will always think of him sitting with Iris and the kids on lawn chairs on the grass between our sidewalks.  He was a smart alec and was always good for a laugh.  He always had something nice to say, too!  The conversations we all had were simple but filled with friendship.  Rest in peace, Sandy.

Rest in Peace Sandy  
We always enjoyed chatting with you at Joe & Joe's & The Saloon ~ you always had a smile for everyone
Good-bye Friend ~ Love Jon & Suzy

Rest In Peace my friend, you will be missed, always had a kind word for everyone.

Sandy was my friend and mentor from the very start. I had the great joy of working for him at the saloon. I spent the many years in that industry and he was by far the best boss I ever had. He was my friend and father figure . As the many years passed I remember spending many late nights with him, we laughed all the time. He had the heart of a lion and always had your back. When Adam passed away I was heartbroken for him. He lived for his family. I retired from the industry a few years ago but the memories he gave me I will hold onto for the rest of my life along with his lessons to be a good person and find joy in anything you do. Goodbye my friend I will miss you more then I can ever say.                      KFM
