Sanfred J. Tyser Obituary (1934 - 2020)

Sanfred J. Tyser, age 85, passed away September 12, 2020. “Handy Sandy” could build and fix almost anything. His personality and stylish mustache left an indelible impression on everyone he met.

His eclectic hobbies included ham radio, Hot Jazz Society, and sailing. He loved Skyline Chili and SpongeBob. He enjoyed road trips with his true love Annie, including treks to Amish Country to meet with dear friends, Martin and Joan, and to New Orleans to visit daughter Lisa, eat great food, and hear jazz at Preservation Hall.
