Sanford Paul Newman

Celebrating the Life of Sanford Paul Newman 1934 – 2026 Sanford Paul “Sandy” Newman passed away peacefully on March 7, 2026, in Boca Raton, Florida, a few months short of his 92nd birthday. Born in the Bronx, Sandy was known for his steady character, sharp wit, and deep sense of responsibility to his family. He married the love of his life, Joy, in 1955, when he was 21 and she was 18. Together they built a life defined by commitment, perseverance, and shared purpose. They raised their three daughters in Rockland County, NY, and later in Boonton Township, NJ, where Sandy owned and operated a successful small business that supported his daughters’ college educations. He took pride in being present for his family: Using his athletic ability and knowledge, he coached his daughters’ little league softball teams, attended every game, recital, and concert and created a home filled with humor and love. Throughout his life, he also formed friendships that grew into lasting, family‐like bonds. After retiring to Boca Raton in 1996, Sandy took over as chef, embraced new routines and interests—golf, cooking shows, movies, and traveling the US and abroad. A devoted Giants and Yankees fan, he was also an avid reader, history enthusiast, trivia expert, comedian and storyteller. Sandy is survived by his wife of 70 years, Joy Carol Newman; his daughters Joanna Castaldi‐Reynolds, Donna Newman, and Laura Perez; sons‐in‐law Ross Perez and Greg Reynolds; his sister, Deborah Steinberg; niece Sherri Berger; nephews Chris, Scott, and Douglas Pfanstiel; his granddaughter, Rachel Castaldi; step‐grandson Justin Perez, and step grandchildren Lauren, Taylor, and Pierson Reynolds; and three step‐great‐grandchildren. He leaves behind a family that will carry forward his stories, humor, and example. May his memory be for a blessing.
