Rest In Paradise Beautiful Man ๐ค When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned And remember only the smile Forget unkind words I have spoken Remember some good I have done Forget that I ever had heartache And remember I've had loads of fun Forget that I've stumbled and blundered And sometimes fell by the way Remember I have fought some hard battles And won, ere the close of the day Then forget to grieve for my going I would not have you sad for a day But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay And come in the shade of evening When the sun paints the sky in the west Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best. I Love You Sanford 35 yrs of Unconditional Love

Lots of great memories of the early days at CBX and all the crazy times too. One of the first souls I met when I moved into my new adventure in Chic's in the early 80's. Rest in peace my ole' friend.
So sorry to hear about Steve I didn't even know he was sick I would of went to see him ๐ข my condolences to family
Mike and Steve went back many years, when Steve lived in va beach. They went surfing countless times, partying and staying in trouble!! Countless good memories ๐๐
Grief is like the ocean it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm , and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is to learn to swim. RIP SANFORD
We shared some good laffs as kids and i always envied your exciting and interesting life as a commercial fisherman. Though you've been gone from Chics beach and Ocean Park for some time, your legend lives on by the Bay. it is absolutely fitting that you ended up in Avon. Rest well my Friend and may peace be with your family and friends. "We shared the women, we shared the wine, you take my wave and i'll break your spine!"

Rest In Paradise Beautiful Man ๐ค
When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile
Forget unkind words I have spoken
Remember some good I have done
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I’ve had loads of fun
Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day
Then forget to grieve for my going
I would not have you sad for a day
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay
And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.
I Love You Sanford
