Sandy grew up in New York City and started acting at a young age. At the age of 10, he appeared on Broadway in the original cast of The King and I. After graduating from Groton, Sandy brought his affection for theater with him to Princeton, where he was in the cast of the Triangle Club’s annual productions each of his four years and served as the club’s president in his senior year.  

After Princeton Sandy served three years as an officer in the Navy. He later earned an MBA at the Wharton School and pursued a career in banking with Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. Sandy worked for Morgan Guaranty in several positions, including for a period in Milan where he helped establish a branch for the bank.  

Returning to the United States, Sandy battled alcoholism and began a lifelong recovery process. Grateful for the help he received from family and others, he worked for many years as a substance-abuse counselor at the Freedom Institute in New York.  

Throughout his life Sandy spent time each year in Northeast Harbor, Maine. An accomplished sailor, he was also an enthusiastic cyclist, a practitioner of yoga and meditation, and a performer in productions of the Blue Hill Troupe in Maine.   

Sandy died in New York Aug. 7, 2020. He is survived by his son, Tom; and his daughter, Anna, to whom the class sends its deepest sympathy.
