Sincere sympathy in this time of sorrow to you all. I am a friend of Jeff's, and have been grateful for his counsel on many occasions. "Death ends a life, but not a relationship."

Papa Sam was an incredible grandfather and great grandfather. I always remember how well he took care of my grandma Eleanor, and how he allowed me to have a wonderful extended family of cousins, uncles, and aunts.
Last night, I was reading a book with my 6 year old, and the main character's name was Papa Sam. I thought this was poetic justice. Papa Sam will be greatly missed by my family.
Love: Liza, Jeff, Max and Jesse
