Not sure what to say?

Carol, I just got the e-mail from Angie. Very shocked to hear the news about Sam.Yes, he did have a dry sense of humor and I liked telling him joke and "BS" with him. I think he was always happy to leave when the girls came to visit! Take care and I will call soon. Love, kathy, randy and mr. coco

carol,
I only got to meet you one time and that was at Sam's surprise party in October but my heart goes out to you. Sam was a good man and even with his dry sense of humor he would still make someone feel better if they were down. I talked to Sam many times on the phone and knew that when I called he would always think "not her again" but he always had an answer to my problem that day. I will really miss Sam and I am keeping you in my thoughts. We all lost a great friend.

I was so sorry to hear about Sam. I really enjoyed working and just talking with Sam when I called the office. Please know we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Sam was truly one of my favorite clients. We always had fun talking about mutual friends from Auburn HS days as we planned his next trip. And Sam always had interesting stories to tell when he got home!
He will be greatly missed.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I will always remember Sam as a caring man who made life a little better for all who worked for him. I had the pleasure to work with Sam for 18 years. My deepest sympathy to his family. (supervisor 180 Diane R. Miller Lynchburg-Bedford DHIA)

Dear Carol and Brian,
Sue and I were saddened to hear about your loss of Sam. He was truly one of a kind. We admired his wit, wisdom and friendliness. It was always a joy to visit with him. We will always remember him fondly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Ken and Sue Butcher

Sam is one of the nicest men that I have ever met!! I was always impresssed by how he could stop everything to talk or ask about ones well-being. I know he is now in heaven where he is leading the conversation in the hallways and being just hilarious and pleasant.

I shall miss the many phone coversations with Sam. Wish he could have been able to enjoy his retirement more. With deepest sympathy, Doug Settle (supervisor 659, Culpeper, VA)
