He was the landscaper. Sandy enjoyed "Dear-Hunting", boxing, landscaping, stone work, fisherman, artist, dancing and of course telling jokes. He picked up a companion, his pet dog "lil Bear" oh and loves animals. It came time to give up his rifle, jeep, all his rocks, boxing gloves, pins & pencils and landscaping tools. It was time do something better and it was the day he became a Believer. Sandy attended Eagles Haven Ministries in Soboba Indian Reservation he got down on one knee, put his hat over his chest and bowed down, and asked Yahushua to forgive him, then he danced like David danced!
