Not sure what to say?

Dear Anna Mae and family- Our condolences to your family. We will always remember Sam and his words of wisdom, his laughter and kindness.

WAY back to Gustafson School in Muskegon, it was always "Sam & Ann"; I still recall your smiles, your wedding, the butter cookies at your bakery that Mom had to bring to me after I moved out of state...God Bless you all ~

Ann, So sorry to hear about Sam. I will always remember him and how loud he sang the songs he enjoyed during service. Now he will be singing with the Angels choir.

Ann & family- great memories of many years ago with your family. Be loving, kind & gracious was his saying when ever we got together. He was one of the first people to say Amen in church for me. He is celebrating with the King. Love Lori (Schaafsma) Robbins

I worked for Sam at Keebler, he was a great man to work for , he really cared about us. I will miss him.

With sincere sympathy to the Ryke Family,

Ann, John & Sandy, Mary, Blain, and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about Sam. What an awesome Man and a very close Family friend of the DePung's for almost 38 years. So many great Happy memories and personally like a second Father to me.

I will always remember his HUGE smile and strong handshake. Also his big impact on my own family and children and his years of dedication to the children at 1st Congregational Church.

My children still talk about Sam and his Sunday AM service...

Dear Ann, Mary, John and Family,
So many great memories of Sam and of our families camping together ect! Sam was always an encourager to be "loving, kind and gracious". I will never forget those wise words of Sam. Thoughts and prayers for you all, and remember that leaving this world is not the end. :) May God send HIS comfort at this time.
Love,
Pam Walsh (Schaafsma) and Jim Walsh

So sorry to hear about Sam passing. I worked for Sam at Keebler, he was always a fun guy to work for & always had a smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Kim Ball
