He worked for Northrop Grumman for over 25 years and retired as a metal paint sprayer.
Antonio “Tony” Sandoval loved his family and enjoyed going to all the family gatherings, air shows and car shows. When it came to vacations he always made it adventurous by always taking us by unknown routes and we always managed to get to our destination. He enjoyed music and loved to dance, so any occasion he had he was always on the dance floor with Carmen or family members. He would always try to make people laugh & smile, that’s just the way he was, he enjoyed life.
In his later years he was committed to his fellow paratroopers participating in The Rakkasans, VFW and the American Legion. Together they would participate in parades; BBQ’s and be there for their fallen vets families.
