I am sorry for your loss. May the love of family and friends comfort you.
My heartfelt sympathy to all the Hendrickson family, and to his grandson, Richard Beard, who followed in Sandy’s footsteps and was a Past Master of Jewel Lodge. My admiration of Sandy is because he is a Hero, who served his country and help keep us safe……………
Sandy was like a second dad to me he will be missed greatly. Sandy and Audry never locked the door on their home . They helped raise a bunch of Lone Jack residents . They were there when no one else was.
My condolences to the family . Sandy will be missed greatly.
Very sorry for your loss.
