Not sure what to say?

Sam and the Raffa Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. You father was always a pleasure to speak to. I know how hard it is lose a parent but your parents are together once again looking over the family lovingly. God Bless and may you find peace. I am sorry for not paying my respects as I just learn of your father's passing. I look forward to visiting with your father and pay respects when I visit my own at the cementary - it is such a lovely place

To The Raffa Family,
My deepest sympathy and prayers are with your family. I knew Sam for several years working with him at Rowan/Glassboro State University. I first met Sam when I worked for the College run Dining Service Dept, and remember he was always happy and cheerful to be around. I will remember him fondly.
May God Guide you during this difficult time.

We didn't know Sam for very long but come to know him as such a sweet, kind and generous person. It was a pleasure and honor to have known him. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Bill & Bernadette Holt

Beloved Uncle, Godfather and servant of God. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Steve, Anthony, Chris, Ben and Andrea Gambino

My uncle, Ed Carr (who passed away last April 27th), was a member of the 303rd Sig. Op. Battalion and spoke of knowing Sam. Unfortunately, another loss from "the greatest generation".

Sammy, Fred and family,
As you know, "Santo" was my husband's mentor and best friend since the early 70s when they met at a Personnel group meeting. He later became my coworker at the Sands and was a dear and faithful friend to me and my family even after my husband's passing in 2008, keeping in touch and sharing memories. Those of us who had the good fortune of being included in the Raffa family clan will always cherish our memories laced with laughter and warm feelings. Sam, I know...
