Born in 1935 to Reuben and Lucile Ball, Sandy and his older sister, Nancy grew up in Montclair, New Jersey. Following his parent's footsteps, Sandy attended the University of Colorado at Boulder where he earned a bachelor's degree in political science and established many of his lifelong friendships.

Sandy is predeceased by Ardie, his loving wife of 35 years. Sandy and Ardie enjoyed travel and socializing with their large group of friends in Denver and Scottsdale. They liked golf, playing cards and watching sports - especially their beloved Broncos and CU Buffs!
