Sanford "Sandy" Grishman of St. Thomas, died peacefully in Florida on Feb. 3.
A native New Yorker, Sandy moved to St. Thomas in 1976, where he owned the first factory-authorized Toyota dealership. He was also a real estate entrepreneur and mentor to other commercial real estate owners who came after him.
Sandy was an active Rotarian, and together with his wife, Marilyn, a donor to the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, the Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas, and other causes.
In addition to his wife, Marilyn, he is survived by five children; two stepchildren; 19 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and a brother.
Sandy was buried in the Grishman family plot, Beth Moses Cemetery, in Farmingdale, New York. A memorial service in St. Thomas is planned for a later date. May he rest in peace.
