Diana, I am so sorry for your loss. Amanda Lutz shared the obit with me and I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My Dad passed away in January of this year and I understand you lost your Mom earlier this year also. Please know that you have two beautiful angels watching over you.
I spent a few nights at the Lickteig estate during my college years and both of your parents were always so wonderful to me. Your household was always full of fun and laughter and action....there was never a dull moment. I loved every moment shared with you and your family. I wanted to thank you for being so kind to me. I think of you often with love....

I am so sorry to hear that Mr. Lickteig has passed. I will always remember the fun times I had at the Lickteig household growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

The Chiefs reference may seem trivial to some, but not to a sports fan. Fandom is in the blood and in the soul and in the heart -- win or lose, but somehow a little more in the losing.

Diane - Condolences on the passing of your parents in 2012. Peace be with you and your family. As much as I would like to believe, I'm afraid even your father in heaven is beyond helping the hapless Chiefs. All the best, Richard & Julie Paradise.

It takes a brave man to be that humorous in the face of death. Wish I had known him.

Dear Llickteig family,My condolences to all.It has been a difficult year for your family but i was impressed with how devoted everyone was to Sam.The story of your father was on a philadelphia news broadcast earlier this week.Iam a former Eagles season ticket holder from the 80's,now suffering silently like Chief's fans.Growing up in the 60's i loved watching AFL games on NBC network.Who could forget Len Dawson,Otis Taylor,Art Still.One of my wife's teachers in high school was Mr. George Cherry father of All Pro Deron Cherry.One of my sisters often spent time watching the children of Chief's ex president Carl Peterson and John Bunting (former asst coach) when they were with the eagles.maybe underneath i really am a chief's fan?However i also share your pain because my mother also passed 20 years ago from the complications of MS.may God bless and keep all of you strong.

May Sam be able to draw on the walls of heaven as he did on the walls of the basement of the Lohkamp home.

Although I have never met "Sam". It's obvious that this man was larger than life...and now greater than death. I too will never be able to watch a Chiefs game without thinking about him and the memory that he left behind. God Bless him and your family during this difficult time. May humor be your healing balm and may it spread like wildfire.
P.S. I'm sure he will put in a good word with God to put the Chiefs back on the right track.

I did not know Sam or his family, but I know what it is like to love the Chiefs. I was amused by the inclusion of his humor in this obituary, and it shows a great deal of love from his family. I will never be able to watch the Chiefs again without thinking of Sam.

May the Lord comfort and keep you all in this time of the loss of your father. I pray his memory, wit and humour will always bring a smile to your face and warm your hearts with thoughts his life and the love for the Kansas City Chiefs. One thing's for sure, I'm certain he looking down and watching this weekend when they play the Denver Broncos and just maybe they may acknowledge his passing with a win.

God bless your father, may he rest in peace. I too am a life long Chiefs fan. Thank you for adding a small amount of humor to what I am sure is a difficult time. I understand your beloved father changed shirts during a Chiefs game, I change hats. Even though I never got a chance to meet your Dad, I feel a kinship with him. The next time I am watching our Chiefs, your father will be in my thoughts.

Diana and family, I'm sorry for your loss. I saw this story on the NPR website and thought this had to be Diana's dad. May you be comforted by happy memories of your father.

I hope you were able to get six Chiefs to act as pall bearers to let him down this one last time. I bet you're a wonderful family... and I feel for you all in your loss. I recently suffered a similar loss - the Chiefs are killin' me too.

We didn't know that Sam was still with us until recently. This was a great way to call attention to his life and that of your Mom and brother. He was a good guy and neighbor.

I must tell you that I am sorry for your loss but thank you for sharing your father's humor and his love for the Chiefs. Your OB has caused many comments and we know it was with love that you included the comments in the OB. May God Bless each of you with comfort and memories of this fine human.

My deepest condolences for your loss. I'm a Chiefs fan in Massachusetts (Patriots country), and I understand the heartbreak. If these were Sam's words and if a member of his family thought enough to let them be used, then the brightness of life truly does still shine in people willing to let it, even in the darkest of times. All of my thoughts and prayers.

From one Vet to another Thank You for your service to our country. As a Chief Fan here in Colorado, now that you're up there please see who you can talk to about help for those of us here on earth that are Chief Fans, if you pull this one off I will do what I can about getting you nominated for Sainthood 'cause only a miracle could ever help us. The Pope could never turn us down with a million witnesses to your intersession and the miracle. God Bless you and your Family.
