Leonard “Sandy” Davey, Jr. (1930-2021)
For years, Westminster Towers was blessed to have Sandy Davey among its family. Sandy was known by many residents as a sweet and thoughtful person with a vibrant sense of humor. He felt the team members where like family to him.
Sandy spent most of his adult life in Orlando, where he was best-known as the longtime general manager of the WKMG-Channel 6 television station. Prior to embarking on his career in television, Sandy earned an economics degree from the University of Virginia and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.
His passing was a cause for sadness, but his memory will be further enhanced by a gift he made to his beloved Westminster community. Sandy left a generous bequest of nearly $132,000 to support the education of Westminster Towers team members and their families who are seeking to further their professional skills and education.
“Sandy’s bequest to Westminster is the ultimate act of generosity,” said Jeff Coates, Westminster Communities Foundation’s Vice President of Philanthropy. “His legacy will be known as a caring soul whose generosity will affect the lives of others through education.”
Sandy’s gift will impact team members and their children like Mia Concha, the daughter of Westminster Towers team member Andrea Montesanti. Mia, who received a 2022 scholarship, is a graduate of Seminole State College and is furthering her education by studying psychology at the University of Central Florida. Andrea said that the financial assistance provided to her daughter is making a difference: “I am grateful that, because of the scholarship Mia received, she was able to purchase the supplies and books she needed for all her classes at UCF.”
