Sandy attended Westminster College and graduated from Colorado College, where he earned a degree in business. There, he met Susie, whom he married in 1967. He then spent two years in Karlsruhe, Germany as a lieutenant in the Army, which allowed him to travel with Susie throughout Europe. After the service, Sandy returned to St. Louis, where he worked with his father and brother at Heitner Corporation, an investment firm specializing in bonds, until succumbing to brain cancer at the age of 54.
He was executive vice president and then president of Heitner Corp., succeeding his father. He was president of the Securities Traders Association of St. Louis and Sigma Chi Alumni Council, a founder of River City Investment Syndicate and chairman of the conduct committee for the Missouri District of the National Association of Securities Dealers.
Through his activity with the Security Industry Association, he talked to high school students about the securities business and initiated a program called The Stock Market Game over several states. Sandy believed education is the most valuable asset one can give your children and other youth.
He and Susie reared three children: Andrew, 41, a wealth manager in Chicago with Neuberger Berman; Mead, 39, a learning specialist at MICDS; and Ben, 34, who works at Dell, Inc. in Austin, Texas. He is survived also by three grandchildren.
A collegiate soccer player, he coached his children’s soccer teams for 12 years. Also a very good tennis player and golfer, as well as a skier, he relished time spent with friends on the courts and on the links.
He spent summers at Camp Kooch-i-ching in Minnesota and in Hanover, N.H. with Susie’s family, hiking in the White Mountains and canoeing. His favorite hobby was keeping bees.
“What was most surprising was the way that so many friends helped with Sandy’s care during the last months of his life,” Susie said.
As many JBS classmates can attest, he was as loyal a friend as anyone could have, straightforward, sincere, not easily swayed from his opinions and always there when needed.
