My younger years are filled with memories of Sammy . My mom and Sam remained close till her passing and she really loved Sam as I did too.
He always had words of wisdom and a joke or 2 to break the ice.
I hope he has a big selection of cigars to sample and a Cadillac with a full tank to take him wherever he wants to go. Miss you Sammy, keep an eye out for me I hope to see you again

I remember it was the Winter of 1960 and the temperature was 30 degrees below Zero. Sam arrived at a Dairy Farm in Lisbon, New Hampshire. He was dressed in Work-boots and a Brown felt hat. His sleeves of his shirt were pushed up. He had a big smile and a cigar in his mouth. He made a Cattle Deal.
Two years later, Mal Bonor went to work with Sam and his Father at Columbia Dairy and Chicken Farm. Then, life changes and auctions follow. Sam was a kind, fair, aggressive businessman with various plans. Sam was a very special and close friend to me and he was close with my children also. He leaves us with our minds and hearts full of personal stories. Sam will be missed dearly. My sincere sympathy goes to Sam's Family. May Peace be with you when you light your candle.

I'm so sorry to hear of Sam's passing. He was a genuinely kind man and a great businessman at the same time. It's unfortunate he didn't get to see the first home completed at West River Farms, he worked very hard to get that project going. Prayers for his family.
Sincerely,
