Sanford Gold, 86

DELRAY BEACH, FLA. – Sanford “Sandy” C. Gold, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2025. Born and raised in Providence, Sandy was the cherished son of Joseph and Lillian Gold and a devoted brother to Victor, Gretta Labush, Enid Ross and Trudy Peake.

Sandy met the love of his life, Estelle, in the game room of the Jewish Community Center, in Providence. They were married on April 8, 1962, at Temple Beth-El and spent 62 joyful years together – dancing, traveling, sharing ice cream sundaes and simply enjoying each other’s company. After marrying, Sandy and Estelle moved to Warwick, where they raised their two daughters, Susan and Lyn.

In 2014, they retired to Delray Beach, where they spent their days surrounded by warmth, friends and family. Sandy worked as a photographer for an ad agency and had a deep passion for social connection. He was actively involved in the Jaycee’s adult leadership program, helped organize beauty pageants and played an integral role in running bingo nights at Temple Am David. In Florida, he enjoyed playing bocce and cheering on his favorite football team, the New York Giants.

Family meant everything to Sandy. He found his greatest joy in his daughters; son-in-law, Bob; grandchildren, Kara, Curtis, Andrew and Haylee (his favorite); and his dear cousins, Mel and Arleen. He was a man who never missed a chance to check in, always starting phone calls by asking about the weather and the kids or pets. Sandy’s life was one well-lived and full of laughter, love and lasting memories. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
