Sam is a gentleman! I worked with Sam at Richmond Foil Palnt and he was always smiling, offering a hand to assist, a postive player on the team and could uplift anyones spirits! I often wondered what happen to him, as he was one of a kind with his gentle heart. I now know where the Lord has taken him. Family, I know your are missig him. Live your life as he has. . . and you meet with him again in the eternal life. Remember that catching smile,the encouragement, silly ways and most of all, the love he had for the Lord and Family and God has GOT THIS! Sam will be missed but he is very blessed to move on the the best. While tears may fall in the night know that joy will arrive in the morning.
Sincerely, Co-Worker Reynolds Metals
