I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Sam was such a sweet man. My son and I enjoyed talking with him when we would go walking at the mall. He loved his family so much and would always talk about them. May he rest in peace.

His concern for everyone was evident in his every day deeds. His Christmas Cards and Birthday cards were always the first to arrive with a very special message from the heart.
