Not sure what to say?

We love to Sam and pizza. My parents enjoyed reuniting and spending time with you both when they move to Wilmington also, my dad Toney Sellards grew up with Sam and my mom knew him also and became good friends with his wife. We always got wonderful Greek food at Christmas time. They were able to go places together after so many years of being apart. Sam was always considered my dad‘s best friend my mom passed in 2021 but they both adored you all you will be loved and always missed.

We lost a great man, excellent husband to dearest Kitsa, and a man who knew how to live life! You’ll be truly missed Sam, I will keep an eye on Kitsa for you.

We are so very sorry to hear of Sam’s passing. What a wonderful man he was! Our deepest condolences. Many prayers and may his memory be eternal.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. You have been my second father and friend and had the warmest greatest memories to carry with me! May God be with you! Rest in peace. Until we meet again and do some more fly fishing on the other side!
Our sincere condolences, thoughts and love go to my second mom Kitsa! Love you Kitsa! God bless you!

My family considers Sam and Kitsa our extended parents while living in Wilmington, NC, USA. Our daughter Penelope, now 26 years old, still remembers her Greek baby rhymes sang by both. I remember the long intellectual conversations with Sam that influenced my career. Sam will be missed but always remembered. We wish Kitsa to continue her life with health, prosperity and her invaluable offerings to the Greek community.
Our deepest condolences,
Dr. Nikolaos P. Rodis, Mrs. Maria...

Kitsa, you have my deepest condolences. Filakia.

Rest in peace, Sam. I always enjoyed our conversations. I will miss you. May his memory be eternal.

One of the first anchors of my family in Wilmington. Always delighted to talk with you. I'll see you again on the other side, Sam.

Memory Eternal to a great man who inspired us.
My condolences to his family and friends.
