I haven't seen Sam in a couple of years where he showed up to Volleyball in Newcastle where we talked for about an hour about what he had been through, in particular the success he was having with cbd oil. I just found out about this and saddened by the news of Sam's passing. We were tennis partners and had won a couple of tournaments together simply because of his tennis skills. He was such a gentleman on and off the court. My sincere condolences to his family.
