He was more than a surgeon; he was a loving and devoted family man. Dr. Sand is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years, Mary, whose companionship and love were the bedrock of his life. Bruce’s greatest joy was his family, which included his seven children: Scott, Darin, Brad, Jennifer, Brandon, Brooke, and Katelyn. As a father, he instilled in them the values of kindness, integrity, and hard work. His children fondly remember the countless hours he spent guiding them, the wisdom he imparted, and the joy he brought into their lives.
His legacy is one of both profound love and pride for his family and professional excellence. Bruce pursued parallel careers as an ophthalmic surgeon and a bioengineer, amassing an extensive intellectual property portfolio with over 300 domestic and international patents. Dr. Sand will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and colleagues. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him and in the many lives he impacted.
