History
Sandy Block was a loving husband, father, and great friend to many. Since Sandy’s death in 1991, his family has always endeavored to preserve his memory. Sandy truly cared about Palmer Trinity School and, as a parent and founding board member, he was committed to making the school a better place. Each year, Palmer Trinity families, alumni, faculty, and friends, join the Block family to honor his memory with the Sandy Golf and Tennis Tournament.
