Not sure what to say?

Theresa,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Sam. He was such a nice man - very gentle and kind to all. Every time I'm in San Diego, I think of the times working with all of you and the happy memories from so long ago. May you find comfort and peace.
-Donna

So sorry to hear of Sam's passing! He gave me my first 'real' job at the Pacific Beach McDonalds in the late 70's and I later become one of the managers. I'll always have fond memories of him visiting the store to check up on us- in a good way! Those early experiences have served as a great foundation to my later business success. Hard to believe my oldest son today is the age Sam would have been at that time. At his then age 34, he seemed like such an old guy to a young 16 year old...

I never met sam in person but knowing his wife Theresa for more than 15 years I feel I knew him.
Theresa’s eyes lighten when she talked about him with so much love passion.
After reading about his amazing life and what an amazing person he was I wish I met Him!
So sorry for your loss
May he Rest is peace and be surrounded with angels ❣

Dear Theresa & family,
Such sad news to learn of Sam's passing. My thoughts and wishes are with you and your family at this difficult time. It was so apparent to everyone who met you both how much you loved each other. He will be greatly missed by us all. I enjoyed our social gatherings as much as I did working with Sam. I learnt much from him due to his kind and generous nature.

Sincere condolences to Teresa and the family.

Dad,
Words cannot express how grateful I am to be a part of your family and to be your daughter. I miss you so much. Thank you for everything you have done for me in my life and for being such an amazing father and grandfather. I have so many memories, so many good memories. Our trip to Hawaii, eating at Planet Hollywood, accidently stumbling across a nude beach when we went for a walk, bike riding in the canyons, watching Austin Powers, eating at Red Robin with Louis, Jamie,...

I had my first job at Sam’s McDonalds in Rancho Penasquitos. He was always so kind and encouraging of my college ambitions. I eventually became an assistant manager. Whatever people think of working at a fast food restaurant... it/he bought my first car and put me through college. Sam always welcomed me back for Christmas, spring break and summers. I am now retired from high tech, banks, insurance and Nike and no longer drive a brown Pinto wagon. He is an unforgettable influence.

He was a very gentle, kind, sweet man. I’m going to miss him in our dental office. And I’ll always remember the tickets he & Theresa shared with me & Sharon & how special it was to see the Padre game last year! I love hot dogs too so I think of him when I have one. I feel very blessed I got to know him.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
