Wow, very sorry to hear this.
Chandy grew up with my mother in Hickory, NC and was an alum of my alma mater there, Lenoir-Rhyne College (now University). Somewhere in my family's papers, I have a letter from Chandy's parents to my grandparents from the 1950's or early 60's on college stationary. His father was a longtime professor there, as was my great-grandfather. Chandy was something of a math prodigy I believe, before becoming one of the early dealers in the hobby. When I moved to Winston-Salem, NC in 2000, I quickly discovered "Season Ticket" - Chandy's shop off of Peters Creek Parkway. Many wonderful deals were had on vintage cards there over the years before he finally closed down the physical shop some time back. Some of my fondest hobby memories. RIP Chandy...

I don’t have it handy (it’s in a box at the top of my closet), but I bought a 1950s Dodgers scrapbook with a ton of clippings of Snider and Koufax (my two main PCs) from him for $10. “It’s probably only worth that to the right person,” he said to me when I asked about the price.

I bought a lot of neat items from Chandy.
As I am mostly a reseller, I no longer have any of these or pictures of them but these were my top buys. 1. 1930's autograph book with about 250 autos including a single signed Babe Ruth page along with team sheets from most major league teams including Pirates with Wagner. Purchased for $1000 about 20 years ago. 2. 1962 Salada 200 coin set in original box. NM Purchased for $1000 also 20 years or so ago. 3. 1953 and 1954 Topps empty 1 cent boxes in EX Condition. Purchased for $350 for the pair again many years ago. These 3 items stick out in my mind as the best purchases I got from him but I bought many bulk deals from him over the years as well. Special guy who I have not seen in a few years but was truly a nice man who will be missed for more than just his collectibles. He always spoke highly of his two daughters and wife and was proud of his family. Prayers for them during this trying time.
