Howard Sandler

Howard Sandler, beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather, peacefully passed away, at 98 years old, on March 14, 2026.

A man of remarkable resilience, Howard lived through the Great Depression, the COVID-19 pandemic, and his own "personal war"—the loss of his cherished wife, Paula. Knowing that they are now reunited in their love story, brings his family peace.

Howard was known for being loving, caring, and beautifully stubborn. His impact spanned generations, remembered by his great-grandson as being "very wise". He was the most active grandfather and will be remembered for swimming lessons, golf cart rides, a successful Avon business, and don’t forget his famous Mandel brot and delicious barbecue sauce.

He leaves behind a large, loving legacy, including his daughter Susan Donner and her husband Philip; his son Ronald Sandler; his grandchildren Rachel, Nicholas, Alexandra, Jessica, Michael, and Mathew; and his great-grandchildren Oliver, Jonah, Emery, Jacqueline, Kyler, Penelope, and Hunter.

He will be forever missed. His family finds comfort in knowing he’s in heaven with his family and will continue to look down on us and protect us from above.
