Staples. He was born on December 21, 1931 in Hart County, Kentucky, where he resided most of his life with the exception of brief intervals. He attended the University of Louisville and was a graduate of Louisville Electronics Institute. He served in the U.S. Navy and returned home to open his own TV and Electronics business in Munfordville. He later worked in Electronics in other cities and localities, but always returned to his "beloved Hart County" ='til finally down a quiet road, where a small white Church sits off to one side at a bend in Route 88, he returned to his final place of rest. On this peaceful hillside, among the markers of those already there, waiting at last to embrace this loved one, Sandy will forever be...in the company of the land he loved so much. "Sunset and Evening Star and one clear call for me....and may there be no mourning at the bar when I put out to sea."
