You could always catch him cheering on his teams. After graduation from FSU, he thought he would like working for a big corporation, but Lakeland was always his home. He decided quickly thereafter he would come back home and go into business for himself. He was always good with his hands and used this skill to own and operate Garland Construction. He left his mark on this world through his character, his relationships, and the projects he built.

He was a man who brought comfort to those around him and was always willing to help. Sanford will always be remembered for his love and for his attitude that "Life is Just a Piece of Cake".
