We met Sam in the mid 1960’s on Lake Louisa when we built a cottage. He and Harry became great friends, a friendship which lasted for 25 years until we moved. To this day we reflect often on that friendship. Sam saw our children grow and was part of our weekly card games. We still have a calendar that included two of Sam’s photos taken of the Lake area. Even these years later we frequently reflect on those great years.
