To Cousin Samuel,
Years gone by but memories vivid of that 1 year on Susan Drive where our familes
lived under 1 roof. What a fun year with
ice skating, snow sledding and yes of course waking up to Gramma Scimia's homemade bread with hot coco on a snowy winter morning. How can we ever forget all the teasing Marie had to endure from you and your Dad every Monday on her dreaded trip to Nativity. What I remember most about you Samuel is your perpetual smile and enthusiasm for life. Your short journey here was remarkable in every way possible. May Our Lord shine His heavenly light on you for all eternity and wipe away every tear that was shed for any trial in your former lifetime. Forever in our hearts.

Cousin Karen

Uncle Sam,
We miss you so much. This has been a very hard few days. Nothing will ever be the same without you in our lives. It is heartbreaking. I pray that you are with Gramma and Poppy and that together you will watch over us. I keep thinking of all of our dinners on Wednesday nights when Michael and I were growing up and know how important that family time was in our development. We looked forward to hearing you and Dad running up the steps so we could eat. We loved all of the work talk and interest you showed in our lives too. We are lucky to have such nice memories. We love you very much.

Aunt Karen, my beautiful cousin Samantha, my family... my heart goes out to you. To have been loved by my dear Uncle Sam was a true blessing. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have shared my childhood with such a great man. I am eternally grateful for the love and support he gave me. He was like a father to me. I love you, Uncle Sam. I will never forget you. May angels lead you in.

I remember our first day of high school. We were so lost, and then we saw Samuel! I was never so happy to see a familiar face...even though he was embarrassed to be seen with two
clueless "freshmen" I think he really felt sorry for us and was
happy to help. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Condolences from Michael too.

Uncle Sam,
You will be forever missed by my family and I. You really step up beyond your duties as an uncle and became a father figure to my siblings when they were without their own for guidance. You were so giving to my family and we will forever be grateful, thank you for the years of love & support.

Uncle Sam,

I'm going to really miss you! I was not ready for this. This will be hard. You were much much more than an Uncle to me.

I want to thank you for everything. You have helped me become an adult and father. You'll always be with me. Please watch out over us.

Thank you Uncle Sam

I never had the pleasure of meeting Sam in person but I used to talk to him at least every other week when he would call me about my advertising.

He was always fun to talk to and his sense of humor was amazing.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,

Louis Ciola

My Brother, My Friend, My Hero - what will I do without you. We were so close. You were always there for me. There is a tremendous void in my life. Geoff is already lost -- you were a brother-in-law, Business Partner, and Buddy. You were the
best Uncle to Gina and Michael and now to their children. You will be missed Samuel. Watch over us. I will always remember. I Love You. Your Sister Marie
