Not sure what to say?

Never stop playing for him, he will truly be missed I was with Mr Sam for a couple of weeks but in those weeks I got close to him and his wife. I loved and enjoyed every moment I was with him I know he loved to have his hair brushed back and to look good before he had any company. I also know he was calm every time his wife played for him. And let me tell you she plays very beautiful. I also will miss his smile always smile after I handed him what he needed even before he would ask for it, he...

I worked for sam&Cynthia at there home.he loved working in the yard. So sorry for your loss.

Sam was the patriarch of the neighborhood, a true gentleman and a joy to speak with. He will be missed.

So sad to hear this. Sam will be missed by so many. I will keep Annie and family in our prayers. Rest easy my friend. Job well done here on earth.

Sam was a good friend to so many people. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Patriotic Eternal Affection Arrangement

Sam was, first and foremost, a gentleman, yet always had a quip at his ready to make people laugh and feel comfortable. He was a legend in our neighborhood, a title he´d likely disclaim, but one well earned. If he were not working in his yard, he´d be in a neighborhood island gardening and making new friends. My condolences go to his family, and my appreciation to Sam for providing an excellent role model by which to live.

I´m so sorry to lose my buddy, Sam! He felt like a part of my family. He was first cousins with my next door neighbor. Boots Clarke Adam´s. I´ll miss seeing him on Fridays at Motor Supply with his Romeo´s! Retired old men eating out!!!
