Sam was a kind, loving, generous, and all around good man. He will be missed and mourned by many. I remember him as the fun-loving, sweet, protective, Uncle-like lifelong friend of my Dads. He was always able to make me smile and laugh with his jokes and hijinks. The world lost someone special when Sam gained his much deserved peace. Our condolences to his family and friends- Margie Wall, Paula Fischer and Kevin Byers
