Sam has not been forgotten. Charlie and I have talked, laughed and cried over the years, remembering Sam. A beautiful soul, charming, great friend taken much too soon. He will always be in our hearts!

Memories of hanging out on the lawn behind our houses with Sam and having a beer or two. He was a great cook and often had BBQ's with lots of food and great memories.
