I was thinking about Sam this morning. My name is Dale Lenz and Sam had talked me into going to Butte Montana for a tryout with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1976. I was a picture and threw my arm out 63 days into my single-A career. I don't know if anybody will ever read this but I just wanted to tell you how much he meant to me. Thank you

As a youngster, I watched Sam play at the University of New Mexico many years ago. We became acquainted again a few years ago when Sam coached with the Angels and I was responsible for their Spring Training home in Tempe, Arizona. We talked a lot and Sam always told people that he and I went to UNM together at different times. He was a great person and I will miss him, very much. My condolences to his family

On this day of remembrance for Sam, I send my sincere sympathy to you, Caroline and family. I really tried to attend, but weather did not permit my trip from Montana. Sam had a great influence on my life as a young man in Grand Junction. He has always been one of my idols.

Sam was a long-time friend during the years I was a reporter at The Daily Sentinel. After I moved to California, he arranged for tickets to a game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Oakland A's, my husband's favorite team. My husband, Tom, never forgot him.
