Forrest "Sandy " York, 66, of Hollywood, MD died January 26, 2013 at the Hospice House of St. Mary's, Callaway, MD. Sandy was born April 12, 1946, in Berea, OH, to the late Janet (Bailey) York and Forrest York, Sr.

Sandy moved to St. Mary's County in 1977 and married his wife of 33 years, Kathy Groner, in June of 1979 where they purchased a small farm in Hollywood. He was a proud father of two beautiful daughters, Hannah and Katie and "Gee-Gee" to two precious grandsons, Evan and Chase.

Sandy loved country music, bike riding, fishing, gardening, and an ice cold beer. He was a brick salesman, a jack of all trades, but most importantly a kind, honest man.

Cancer took Sandy too young; after a long fought battle he died peacefully in his sleep. He is survived by his wife, Kathy York; two daughters, Katie of Lexington Park, MD and Hannah (Nickolas) of Piney Point, MD; two grandsons, Evan and Chase; and twin sisters Sue (John), and Joann (Charlie).
