I have memories of Sandy by way of Joe Tveten. Joe and I went to PLU together from 1970-74. If I had an issue with my car (which I bought from Joe), he would have me bring it to the Tveten Texaco station in Lakewood. It is sad that Joe is no longer with us, but I wish all the Tvetens the best.##imported-begin##Brian Berg##imported-end##
One of the things I will forever remember about Uncle Sandy is his strength. The strength it took to survive life in Nokomis & La Glace; the strength to move to Tacoma & start a new life on the verge of the Depression; the strength to start his own businesses; the strength to survive 2 wives, a son, a grandson, a younger brother, & many nephews & nieces; and I will remember the strength he displayed on his 99th birthday, and then, that incredible grip of his hand just days before his passing. I will also remember Christmas at his home on Steilacoom Lake, the poker games at the Lakewood Terrace, summers on the Canal & going to the dump, crab & shrimp feeds, visits down South--all that connected us & made us family. I will also remember how he called his baby brother, my father, Teddy.##imported-begin##Teri Tveten##imported-end##
I will always remember Marguerite and Sandy as good friends of my parents, Art & Marvel Malacky...time passes so quickly, but I have many fond memories to savor. May God bless this wonderful family...My sympathy, Susan##imported-begin##Susan L. Malacky Halls##imported-end##

My grandmother, Leona Krebs, always had the most glowing things to say about Sandy. My grandparents belonged to the same dance club as the Tvetens and she told wonderful stories about their times together. I never had the opportunity to meet Sandy myself but feel like I knew him through my grandmother. He was a kind soul and a very good friend.##imported-begin##David Krebs##imported-end##
