So very sorry to hear of Sammy's passing. I have very fond memories of him and his family as going to visist as a yound child. He always wore a smile on his face and for that I will always remember. He was a good person. My deepest sympathy is with you at this difficult time. Let your many memories fill your heart and just know he is in a better place rejoicing.

Uncle Sammy meant more to us than anyone can imagine. He always had a story to tell that would make us laugh! He and my Dad were very close. Now they're together again going fishing and telling jokes. No more suffering, no more pain, your love of your family and country were not in vain. You leave behind those who love you. You may be gone, but you won't be forgotten. I'll see you again one day. Connie Sue :-)
