Sandy graduated from Groton. At Princeton he majored in history and joined Quad, the Student Christian Association, and the St. Paul’s Society. He roomed with Nick Clifford, Ledlie Laughlin, George Heyer, and Spencer Gordon.

He followed his father, Alexander Sr. ’20, and his two older brothers into the Episcopal ministry, and thereafter led a blessed life working with diverse groups in a range of churches with his wife, Margy, in Alaska, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, New York City, Pennsylvania, Salzburg, and Trieste.

After a year at New College, University of Edinburgh, Sandy studied at Virginia Theological Seminary and was ordained in 1956. In 1985 he earned a doctor of ministry degree from the Princeton Theological Seminary.

Sandy died March 4, 2019. He is survived by Margy and children Katrina, W. Tyler, Paul, J. Lane, and Sally. The class sends sympathies to them all with appreciation of our brother’s life of service to others.
