In 1993, Sanchez retired from LCC with twenty-three years of service. After several years of working with his son Pedro "Pete" Sanchez, he moved to San Antonio, to share in the lives of his daughters and their families. He died of a sudden illness. He was survived by five children: Sandra S. Johnson (born 1949), Pete Sanchez and wife Lydia, Irene S. Galo and husband Bradford, Hugo G. Sanchez and wife Mary, and Laura J. Sanchez. There were also thirteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. He is interred in his family plot at Calvary Catholic Cemetery in Laredo.
Robert Ochoa, the current LCC dean of student affairs, who worked under Sanchez for more than two decades, said that Sanchez helped many students to gain acceptance into four-year schools, medical schools, and dental programs.
Laredo Community College honors Sanchez through the naming of the Crispin "Doc" Sanchez Baseball Field.

Famous quotes containing the words death and/or legacy:
“As deaths have accumulated I have begun to think of life and death as a set of balance scales. When one is young, the scale is heavily tipped toward the living. With the first death, the first consciousness of death, the counter scale begins to fall. Death by death, the scales shift weight until what was unthinkable becomes merely a matter of gravity and the fall into death becomes an easy step.”
—Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
