Sam was a special person in several ways, and I know he held a special place for Don. My sympathies go out to the family, but I feel confident that Sam is in a better place today.

My sympathy to the family and friends of Sam. As the boy who lived across the street, I have many fond memories of Sam and his parents and his sisters. I'm sure Sam will be missed

Sam was a part of my high school days. He held so much promise. He was bright and witty and could have done anything he wanted to do.
As I was recently reminded, he had served as the president of his senior class, at our former Ohio high school, West Carrollton. My sympathy to Sam's children, and to his former wife, Sandra S. Hollingsworth (the mother of their children), who still held him in highest regard, also to Judy, whom I did not know.
