Adored and respected by his family and countless friends, colleagues and patients, Sandy was a pillar of the medical community in Detroit and Sutton's Bay for more than 55 years. He graduated from Des Moines Osteopathic Medical School in 1960. After graduating he owned and ran a flourishing family practice in the Detroit area. He then moved to Sutton's Bay, Michigan where he practiced Urgent Care Medicine. He was a clinical professor at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and the recipient of prestigious honors and awards for his teaching and contributions to the field of Osteopathic Family Medicine.

When he was not spending quality time with his family and dear friends you would find him on his sailboat, Celestial, on the tennis court or pruning his roses in his garden. He loved Classical Music, Jazz and Barbara Streisand!
