Mrs. Saxton: Michael Kraynick here. I am in town for a few days and just realized that Sam had passed away. I am so sorry. I flew into Queen City and was trying to call him and did not know. I had spoken to him for a few months. I hope you and your family are well. My sincere condolences. I don't have you phone number so if you want to call my number is 208-720-2509. You all were such great friends of my parents. Best regards.
