Sanford
"Sandy" Sharp, 88, loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather,
entered into rest on Friday, July 5, 2019 after a brief illness. The son of the
late Morris and Lillian (Frier) Sharp, Sandy was born on Wednesday, February 18,
1931 in Newburgh, NY. Sandy was a lifelong area resident, never living more than
a few miles from his birth home. He owned several, always local, businesses
throughout his life. For many years he owned and operated Apollo Gold & Silver
on Broadway in Newburgh and numerous locations of "Mr. Sharp's Dry Cleaners." He
was mischievous and quick witted and could tell a story about his childhood with
such clarity and detail that you felt you lived it with him. He was fluent in
Yiddish and could yodel amazingly and he loved the "Old Real County and Western
Music!" He will be loved and missed eternally. Sandy is survived by his loving
wife of 59 years, Beverly (Napello) Sharp; daughter, Lauren (Sharp) Price and
husband, Charles; daughter, Ondrea Sharp-McCarvel and partner Greer Scott;
son-in-law Kelly McCarvel; granddaughters, Samantha Sharp-Schwartz and husband
Brian, Amy Sandberg, and Danielle McCarvel; and great grandson, Jonnathen
Sharp-Schwartz, first boy born to the Sharp family since Sanford-86 years apart!
Sandy is also survived by many cousins, nieces, nephews, and family friends. In
addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his uncle and lifelong friend,
Charles Frier. Visitation will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 7
at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave. Newburgh, with a service at 11:30.
Burial will follow in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Newburgh NY.
