Sandy then changed career paths and ran a guttering company for many years before he joined Calico Apartments in Grandview, MO, as a maintenance specialist. Sandy didn't slow down in retirement. He continued to work part time at Calico and volunteered at the Central Avenue Center of Hope in Kansas City, KS.
