David Sandell

Shared a photo.

All my condolences

Dave Sandell was a great boss at the Cap Times Photo Department and his energetic love for photography survived many changes in technology. Dave was smart and could handle all camera advancements. He was agile and he supported his photographers, including the first women in photojournalism (Photojournalist Meg Theno loved him). A favorite memory for me is Dave always walking into the photo department with his favorite pastry and take-out coffee all fired up to see what stories the day would bring. When I saw him last year at his assisted living, he was so much the same in spirit and laughter. Apparently Dave thought the same. A few of us laughed at a Cap Times story when Dave said loudly with a huge smile, "Shiela, you haven't changed a bit!!" This is a precious memory for me. Dave was a generous soul. I will miss his sense of humor and vast knowledge of news and sports photography. I wish his family my deepest condolences.

Theresa and Tracy I’m sorry to hear about your loss. I remember your Dad when we kids you will be in my thoughts.

As a member of Beloit HS class of ‘57 i remember Judy Shannon mostly from our days at Gaston School and Lincoln Jr. High and recall David as a very talented photographer. My sympathy to the families.
