Patterson, I saw your entry in Sam's obituary thing. Very touching. Your dad, walker was a good man I want you to know that. I knew him, and both Mark and Sam loved him very much. If you ever need to talk feel free to call me 310 266 4371. It's a testament to Sam's legacy that your Dad was touched by he and Mark.

My name is Patterson Inman I'm Walker Inman's son. I don't know much my father passed 2010 I'm back with my mother Daisha Inman. My father talked about Mark and Sam about how they owned a jewelry store he really missed them both.One time I found him sobbing in the vault holding these blue bulls with ruby eyes in his hand they were cuff links he also missed a man by the name of spinner. Well now look my father shouldn't be sad no more now he can be at peace with his buddies. I will Carey on being the good side of my father. May all rest in peace and be loved forever.

I miss you guys so much. So so so much. I have been thinking about the old jewelry store a lot lately and all of the good times that so many people had there including me. I miss it and you so much. I know Britt is up there too now. I hope you are all happy up there. We are all missing you down here. Love you guys. All of you. Miss you all so much. Uncle Sam, if you could send down some of that sage like wisdom of yours, I would so greatly appreciate it. Love you beyond beyond.

Hi Uncle Sammy!
We just got back from Hawaii. You and my dad were on our minds so much. I don't think a dinner went by without a story about each of you. I have so many wonderful memories of you guys there. Though this trip wasn't the same without you, we had such a good time filled with laughter and love just like I remember it being when we were all there together. It made me so appreciative of our times there. We had so much fun, didn't we? :) I will carry those memories with me for the rest of my life. I am lucky to have them. Love you! Miss you!

Happy Fathers Day to the greatest Father that ever lived. You were a father to all of us--and still are! happy Fathers day to Dad, also, who was a structured figure in our lives--we miss you both and love you very much!
June 18, 2011
Happy Father's Day Uncle Sam. I love you and miss so much. Thank you for all the goodness you brought into my life. Though you might not have had any kids of your own, you were like a father to so many including me. Thank you Sam. Thank you for your love and for being the person you were. You helped mold the way I look at the world and I am so grateful for the things I've learned from you. I'm thinking of you, missing you immensely.

February 15, 2011
Tomorrow is your Birthday! Happy Birthday to the greatest person I have ever known! You are terribly missed by all of us--you were our foundation! You still are--my girls always look to you and say"would Uncle Sam have wanted it this way?" We embrace you with our hearts and hope that you and Mom and Dad, Robbie and Mark are all together up there cheering for us and giving us support! I miss the long talks we had every afternoon about the good old days and about some of your whacky friends--you could always make us laugh--even up to the end of your physical life! The one good thing about all your suffering was that you had at least had a wonderful life--been everywhere, done everything--and always with CLASS! Just like I put on your crypt--"A CLASS ACT FROM BEGINNING TO END!" That's you!
February 13, 2011
Uncle Sam, I look up torward the heaveans amd wonder did you all find each other,Grandma,Grandpa,and my brother Robbie!I just hope you are all smiling down on me.I need a ray of sunshine.I think about you every day,there's not a day that goes by without you in mind.I will never forget you're big heart and generosity.You gave me a gift, from the heart.This gift I will never forget.Neither will I forget you., in mind how proud I was of you and how I wanted you to meet my 2 children .It brought me joy inside and out to tell my children you are my Uncle.Just to see you interact with them brought happiness and joy to all of our lives.Whether you ever knew this or not I always loved you.You will be forever etched in my heart.I pray that as I walk through this journey you all are holding my hand by my side.

Missed you this Christmas, Sammy. So much of the goodness in my life is because you were a part of it. Thank you Sam for all that you did for me and my family. You opened up my dad's eyes and showed him a good life can be if you work at it. You boys sure did work hard, but ALWAYS ALWAYS had time for what matters most, family. We were all so lucky to have you. I Love you and know you are all together up there enjoying the great above. :) xoxo

Sam, the last two years we spent together were by far, the most important to me. You confided in me and told me you innermost conflicts and expressed your feelings about all your friends and our family, in depth. I miss those afternoons--I feel a true void in my life. You were always the one to help everyone--and I hope I was able to show you enough love to take with you to hold on to into your next life. You have been more than just a brother to me--you fed my knowledge with your knowledge of coins, antiques and collectibles-- you gave me insight into people--and taught me not to judge people on the outside. Thank you, SAM, for all the wonderful talks we shared --and for loving my grandchildren and my children the way you did--the glow on your face when you held JJ at his christening as his Godfather--I will never forget that!
You were and still are a very special person. I Love You...
December 3, 2009
SAM, IT'S ALMOST A YEAR SINCE YOU WERE TAKEN BY THE LORD TO CONTINUE HIS WORK ELSEWHERE. THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BENEFITTED FROM YOUR KINDNESS AND LOVE. I MISS ALL OUR AFTERNOON TALKSABOUT THE OLD TIMES AND OLD FRIENDS--THANK GOD YOUR BODY WAS DETERIORATED, BUT YOU NEVER LOST THAT SHARP MIND--YOU ARE SOOOO INTELLIGENT, SAM--YOU HAVE ENLIGHTENED SO MANY LIVES IN SO MANY WAYS--THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH ME IN CONFIDENCE ALL YOUR INNER CONFLICTS AND WISHES. THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF WERE ACTUALLY THE BEST TIME I EVER GOT TO SPEND WITH YOU-- I LOVE YOU ALWAYS-YOU HAVE BEEN NOT ONLY A GREAT, LOVING BROTHER, BUT A GREAT FRIEND. MY LOVE TO YOU FOREVER, JACCI

How sad to find out about Sam's passing. We found Sam on one of our first trips to Palm Springs and he quickly became one of the reason we love to come here every year. Sam was a warm and caring person and always had time to talk to us and share stories of his life. He loved to show us some of his coins and talk about the changes in town, some good and some not so good. What a special person, we will miss him greatly and always remember him when we come to town.

Dear Sam....We have fond memories of you and Mark at the jewelry store next to See's and always enjoyed looking at your "new finds" and hearing all the stories. We had a heavy heart when Mark left us and now there is a hole in our heart from your departure. Thanks for the memories!
