2003 brought tragedy to Adam Sandler’s life when he and his family were left devastated following the death of his father, Stanley Sandler, from lung cancer. But as his most famous son stated two decades later, his memory will always live on. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, in 2022, Adam wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to all you dads! I had a great one. Every time I heard his footsteps comin down the hall I knew all the fun in the world was home. My sisters and brother felt the same. And so did my wife Jackie … Loved every meal, car ride, tv watch, late night talk, phone call, beach day, boat trip, driving range, baseball catch, and giant family hang we had. He loved my wife a lot and she felt the same about him.”

Adam, who told the New York Times that Stanley used to hit press play on the video recorder every time he appeared on TV, continued: “We talk to our kids all the time about just how damn cool and smart he was and what he would have said in certain situations if he was here. Miss that man everyday and thank him for his warmth, his love for my mom, and always putting his family first.”
