Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I will miss my dear Uncle Harry – one of the best.
Uncle Harry, you truly are the best Uncle, you will NEVER be forgotten. God Bless and rest in peace. Love, Robert, Debbie, Danielle & Brandon.

I will always remember your record store in Croydon, PA. It was a part of my life that brings fond memories to me, and I will never forget.
My deepest sympathy to the family.
God Bless,

My deepest sympathies for your loss. My husband, “Mac” Darville worked with Harry at Pine Run in the ’80s. He was so grateful to have Harry for his boss, because he was getting used to working in the states after locating in Bucks County from the Bahamas. God grant you all Peace at this time of loss.
Harry Sandy was my grandfather, and the memories I have of him I will hold dear to my heart. I will often remember the times of him playing barbies with me when I was a little girl. Although God called him home he will never be forgotten. I love you Pop, and will one day see you again!
OUR SYMPATHY TO HARRY’S FAMILY AND TO SHIRLEY…

Thank you, Barbara and Cheryl, Ashley, Rob, Sue and Dad’s friends. We appreciate your sharing your thoughts and condolences. Your time and your kindnesses matter to us. Kathy (on behalf of all three of us)
Harry Sandy hired me when I was 19 to work at “Sandys TV” it was the first time I had to deal with the public repairing TV’s. He taught me the ropes and I went on to work for two other TV repair shops finishing up with 35 years at Pennsbury in the IT department. The skills I learned from his small tv shop helped me alot.
He was a good man and I’m sure he will be missed by all those who said he was my friend.
Let us not forget the good time we had with the Drum Corps.
“Pop” Sandy was my father-n-law!In the 17 years I knew him, He never uttered an unkind word about anyone;a rare characteristic in people. In previous years, he would visit and spend a week with his grandchildren. He never complained about anything;whether playing Barbies or tolerating the noise at Chuck E. Cheese..he took it with a smile. My life was made richer just by knowing him. Had there never been a “Harry Sandy”, I wouldn’t have been blessed with my wonderful husband and best friend (Cliff). Pop, I will cherish the memories of you always.
“The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.” Isaiah 57:1-2
Rest in peace, Pop…until we walk together with Jesus some day.
Uncle Harry you will be missed and I am so Happy that I had a Uncle like you :)Sleep with the angels. Tell my Dad&Mom that I’m ok. Miss you!xxoo Cheryl
