I am so sorry to hear the news of Sam's passing. He was a great friend of Riverview School on Cape Cod and through my work there we became good friends. He was always an enthusiastic leader and supporter of "Chris's School." Davis Sports Field in the center of the campus is a symbol of his vision and caring for the special students who enjoy it every day.



Sam's commitment to special causes inspires me now that I have moved on to work with adults who have disabilities.



Alma, Chris, Andrew, John and the whole family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Your friends at Riverview School

Sam was such a wonderful neighbor. We admired his intelligence and gentleness. I am so grateful to him for finding a copy of the Pioneers of the Madison Valley book for me. I had been looking for twenty years. We will miss this sweet man. With love to Alma and the family. Lathie and Lee Poole
