To Barb, Ron & Kyle, I just wanted to say I knew Sandy from many years ago. I used to do his and Kathryn's advertising when they had their store on Arch St. I didn't know they were your parents, Barb. But I have to tell you, they were one of my favorite clients. Your dad was so nice and so friendly and was a wonderful man. Please accept our condolences for your loss and know that our hearts are with you and your family. Lisa & Andy Mitchell

Although we never had the privilege of getting to know Sandy, we are very thankful for the memories he leaves with those who did. After reading all the wonderful things this man has done for aviation, I truly wish I would have had the chance to have met him. Thank you Slifkin family for your many contributions to this dream we hold dear to our hearts - flying. Sandy will be missed by many. Mike and Robin Diehl
My condolences to Sandy's Family. Sandy was a dear friend and mentor to me when I lived in Ohio. Whenever I had a question or concern about flight instructing, Sandy would always make time for me. He gave me great advice. When I moved to Florida I missed his council and guidance. I am a better pilot and instructor because of Sandy. Steve Moore FAA Safety Inspector Orlando, Florida
So long old and dear friend. You will be missed.
My condolances to Sandy's family. I have known Sandy for over 40 years. He was so much more than a member of ECOPA he was ECOPA being it's treasurer since it's begining. His wisdom will be missed by the aviation community and everyone who knew him. Robert & Jean Arner

The Dean of Aviation around Alliance, Ohio is gone. We wish the family our deepest condolences. Sandy is now up there with the Angels where gas is free and there is Sunshine every day. What a great Aviator, he could fly as if the wings were attached to him, I so recall my last flight with Sandy in the prototype F-19 Taylorcraft. He will be missed, if not for Sandy we would have no Taylorcraft Flying Club , he was there in the beginning for the founding of ECOPA . What a great visit we had the day before he Went West at Alliance community Care with his two Daughters Barb & Nancy . Farewell Old Friend . You can now truly reach out and touch the face of God ! Forrest & Pat Barber and all your friends at the Barber Airport & Taylorcraft Foundation
