I just saw the sign up the road on Sam's Shop and had to do some digging to find this. I am just so heartbroken. Sam always treated me like family. When my car needed work he was the one I trusted and he always worked with me. I am just crushed. Prayers for his family. Please know that he was truly loved by this community.

Sam was a very good friend of my husband Eddie and I just saw his death notice. I got to know Sammie over the years as they both worked together. So sorry to hear of his passing, he was a good guy. Bev Merk

I am heartbroken over losing my friend and mechanic Sam! My cars are crying too they adored him! I wish I had known in time to attend funeral and what happened to him we just saw him a few days before his death and he told us about needing more heart surgery ( I think he said it was actually scheduled today). I kept trying to get ahold of someone at his shop when no call back and his cell no longer worked either. May he Rest In Peace and know how well loved he was! My poodles used to love coming to visit him at shop when I picked up or dropped off one of my cars. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dear Lori. I first met Sam over 30 years ago. He was very likable and quite a character, which never changed. Our contact then was brief, and we did not see one another for many years. Then, when I first came into the AA fellowship, Sam was one of the first persons I encountered, and our faces lit up because we were so happy to see one another again. We enjoyed sharing our interests in fast cars, the privilege and beauty of living next to Lake Erie, and the blessings of the AA fellowship. I will miss Sam. God's blessings on Sam and your family.
