Not sure what to say?

Big Pig ! You are missed so very much by so many in our family. As I run the river hunting the redfish, I think of better times with you and Miss Eleanor fishing with me. Yes, I use live bait now on many occasions because I know you loved to use it. Until we meet again, tight lines and best fishes my friend.

I'm still so sad. I miss Sam. He was just lovely. I will always miss him, and will think of him as long as I'm still here. Just such a shame we lived so far apart. x. Graham.

I knew Sam since he had hair to his shoulders and worked with his dad as an atty. I was an auto dealer he formed my first corp and became and stayed my friend for all these yrs. He passed way too young. His work as the Easter Bunny with children in the hospital was amazing. He was not only called the Easter Bunny he was called the PIG by his friends. He had the best BAR B Que in central Fl. Im thinking of you on this Easter 2022. God Bless Eleanor!

Happy Easter to Eleanor I know she misses her Easter Bunny as we all will upon this day! He was a great man a great friend and my first atty.

Eleanor, I was gob smacked when I heard of Sam's passing. I adored him for years, prior to adoring the both of you, as a couple. With you - he found the true love of his life and your influence made him a happier and more serene person. I tried in every way I knew to reach you but that bloody virus always seemed to present a roadblock. I hope you will eventually see this message and I sincerely hope find the info to his celebration of life. Please know that my adoration for Sam (and you) will...

I have known Sam since the early lawyer years, I wAs a Judicial assistant and saw that smiling face of Sam´s most everyday for years. We lost contact when I became a real estate broker and he a chef. So sad to see his obituary, may God comfort his family .

Just heard of Sam´s passing and we send our hugs and sympathy. Sam was bigger than life and so thoughtful of others. Loved his fireworks on Lake Killarney...spectacular!!! He will be missed by us all and never forgotten.

I was lucky enough to work with Sam when he had an office on Wall Street, in the 80's. He and his daddy, Charles and brother, Edward, taught me so much about real estate, paralegal work and so much more. I worked with him when he opened his first Bubbalou's on Lee Road. Getting free Bubbalou's food is still my favourite perk, ever! I was also working with him when he opened The Courtyard at Lake Lucerne. I remember when Sam met Eleanor and how much he loved and respected her. I learned so...

Although we haven´t visited our Florida family in 30 years we are saddened to learn of Sam´s passing. We have fond memories of our last visit when my mother Lib and father Gus (both now deceased) were alive and Sam proudly introduced us to his bbq Bubbalou business. Although separated by miles we distant cousins share your family´s loss.
