One of the classiest people I ever met...We were classmates at St.Michael's and became great friends.....Sam was a riot to be with and a man you could always count on. We drove to games, classes, dinners, etc laughing all the time....I drove to his service from Boston when he passed away. I was with him the night he met his wife....Rest in Peace Sam....you are not forgotten.

I can’t seem to move forward, that’s how special you were to me. Even after nine years there isn’t anyone else who can fill the void. I love you and miss you terribly.
Heather

Hi Dad,
Nine years. Nine years where everyday you are thought of. You are still very much here in our thoughts, our stories, our memories. The hole is still huge where you were.
I didn’t get to say this to you, but thank you. Thank you for setting an example of what a parent and grand parent should be. Thank you for being so present that there is no way that you can’t be a part of this life even if you aren’t here.
I can still hear your voice. I can still hear your laugh.
Until we meet again, you are loved and missed.

Same was unique, a gifted athlete, bright, cordial, competitive and faithful to his friends. We were in some of the same classes so we exchanged noted and thoughts often. We socialized together and I was with him the night he met the love of his life, Donna. He often chided me about my "Massachusetts" accent and I gave it right back with his Northern Vermont accent. I got to see Sam after college on my trips from Boston to Winooski as I traveled often to watch my youngest son play baseball when he was a student/athlete at SMC during the 2004-08 school years.
Same was special and often spoke of his wife and kids, whom he loved very much. When news of his passing reached me, I drove to Vermont just so I could attend his funeral services as it was important for me to say good bye to a terrific friend.

watched Sam play ball in high school...met up with him at SMC and played ball with him on an intramural team. He was someone I remember with great respect...a genuine "good soul". He will be much missed.

Sam,
It's been almost 50 yrs since we first met. We were the class of 67 and a big part of that class's collective heart is broken by your passing. It just doesn't seem right that you would be one of the first of us to go. You always made us smile. You and big John were my locker buddies for years. And you were always so kind to the shy, geeky girl I was. I have appreciated that kindness all of my adult life. Though I left home to venture out in the world, you were always someone I looked forward to seeing when I could get home. You made our reunions fun and the smile was again always there!! I think you would have been amazed at all the people who came to your service yesterday. I doubt seriously you had any idea how many lives you touched. My heart aches for everyone who loved you and I can only hope they take comfort in their memories, just as I will.
You are already so missed old friend; but, I'm counting on that big smile and hearty laugh to be waiting for the rest of us when we get to the other side. Rest easy knowing that for many of us, you made our worlds better places to be in and that you have left behind an incredible legacy.
Godspeed on this next journey Sam. I have the distinct feeling you'll never be far away!!
February 21, 2012
Bruce,
It is hard to know what to say at a time like this. I have so many memories of you going through my mind. Snapshots of my life both past and present. You are sure of yourself and smart, tough but generous, determined and successful too. All the many things that make you who you are. Not who you were, but who you ARE, because those things live on in Jennifer, Joel, Heather and their children, so you live on in them. That is something I know that you are VERY proud of.... That you left so fast is what makes the pain so surreal. I will miss that laugh. We will all miss that laugh. We will carry on as you would expect us too, but it will never again feel quite the same.
Until we meet again,

Bruce,
It is hard to know what to say at a time like this. You are in so many pictures in my mind past and present, different snapshots of my life. You are sure of yourself and smart, funny and tender, tough and yet generous. You are determined and successful ... so many different parts of you, that make up who you are... Not who you were, but who you ARE... because you live on in Jennifer, Joel, Heather, Hannah, Logan and Lily and Lea and Georgia and they have the gifts you shared. A legacy of love, which you have every reason to be filled with pride. That you left so fast is what makes the pain so surreal. I will miss that laugh :)
Until we meet again, and we will,
Liza

Dad, I wonder how I'm supposed to get through the days without seeing your smiling face walk through my front door or hear your voice on one of your frequent calls just to check in and see what's going on or if there's anything you can do to help. We are going to miss you for a very long time. Love you Dad.

I happened to have been in VT attending my mother's funeral when I saw the article in the paper about Sam's accident. After the initial shock it brought back great memories of a time playing softball with a bunch of guys - many from Winooski. Ron Barcomb, Jerry Parot and Jack Brice are a few offering condolences above. Sam was the soul of the team as pitcher and always someone you wanted to be around. His father, Zum, umpired my baseball games in high school. I worked with, and played some softball with Butch at GE and my father was a friend of his uncle Ralph so the connection to the Lapointe family is deep and heartfelt. My deepest condolences to extended Lapointe family.

Dear Donna, Don, Jan, and family.....our hearts and prayers reach across the miles to each of you....words don't begin to express our deepest sympathy.

May God help each of you to find peace, as you hold treasured memories of Sam in your hearts.

Dad, you are missed more than I can express. You were an example of how life should be lived. You helped me to appreciate the little things. You were my friend and the best grandfather. I love you and feel you with me everyday. It will be a long time before anything feels good without you here. Hannah, Logan, Lily and I talk about you often. I am proud to have had you as my father. We will work to make you proud of us. I hope to be the kind of parent you were to me. Love you Dad.

Sam was a wonderful brother-in-law and a great friend. He loved his kids and his grandkids immensely and talked about them a lot. He adored my sister, his wife, and she adored him. i am glad that we had him in our lives even if for a short time. Spending time with Sam made you want to be a better person. Watch over Donna, Jenny, Joel, Heather and your grandkids Sam. Until we meet again, Godspeed Brucie!

In the summer of 2010, I met Sam on one of his many walks at Colchester Airport Park. He took time to greet me enthusiastically with a big smile and talk with me and my son and his family. As vintage Sam, he made a point to make a complementary remark about me to make me look good in front of my family. As a player on Zum's first Little League team ever in Winooski, I have cherished memories of the entire Lapointe family. God Bless Sam and his family.

I was so sad to learn of Sam's passing. We were friends and classmates at WHS. After graduation, our paths rarely crossed. But every time I did see him, it was like no time had passed in between. Sam had the rare quality of making every person he met feel special… every time he saw them. My heartfelt condolences go out to Sam's family.

Dear Jenny, Joel, Heather, Mom, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Mike, Uncle Butch, Donna & all of our family,
I have so many fond memories of Uncle Bruce, as we all do...
I remember as a child, the countless times jumping on his bed @ Nana's with my sisters and cousins, while he blasted the Beach Boy's song, "Barbara Ann".We loved to do that:)
The trips to Norse's Beach then to Sadie's in Mallett's Bay for fries and creamees were almost a weekly occurrence, and waiting for him to drive up to pick us up was the hightlight of our weeks during the summers... One summer, he even took us with a cast on his hand...he would still go into the water with us, holding his arm in the air, and tossing us up with the other...I will now tell you that he had a tendency to "straighten the curves" on the winding parts of Mallett's Bay Avenue:)(totally Bruce...can you picture it?!).
I know that all of us will hear that unique, boisterous laugh of his and see that beaming smile when we think of him...he truly lit up the room.
I'm sorry that we couldn't be there with you all during his last days...please know that we were there, and will continue to be there with you in Spirit, as his life is celebrated on Monday.
Love you, Uncle Bruce...we will miss you so much. You're now one more Angel to watch over all of us,
Jody, Pat and the Twins
February 18, 2012
My deepest sympathy and prayers to Joe and the rest of the LaPointe family during this most difficult time. Bruce truly was one of the nicest and most friendliest guys I have ever known. He will truly be missed by everyone that knew him.

February 18, 2012
So sad to hear of Bruce's passing. I first met him as a basketball official working our games. I had the pleasure of coaching his daughter Heather in high school and found him to be supportive and fun to be around. The joy of seeing his kids play and at just being in an athletic environment were always obvious to all. A true loss, but also many great memories for all who knew him.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel.
I can still vision Bruce as a young boy playing sand lot baseball on the vacant land near his parent´s home.
I will always remember fondly the experiences we had playing baseball and softball, his friendly personality and athleticism.
Two summers ago was the last time we saw Bruce; he had that big grin on and was eating a healthy ice cream at Ray's Sea Food, glad to have talked to him.
Please except our sincere condolences to the LaPointe family.

It is a sad time for all of us who grew up with Sam as a friend and teammate. He was a fierce competitor in everything. Hoops, stickball, chess, running to wash windshields at Zum's Texaco...I am humbled by all the wonderful memories of my friendship with Sam that are racing through head... and I will take consolation and I am confident that Sam, Zum amd Fritz are waiting their turn at the batting cage in heaven and are already sizing up the other players. Rest in peace Sam, you are one of a kind.

We are so sorry to hear of the accident and the passing of Bruce. We knew him casually over the years as “Mr. Basketball” when he was involved in Colchester youth basketball. He was someone with a quick smile and always good for some friendly jesters. It was just only a few weeks ago we briefly got reacquainted with him at a local Winooski gym, he was as friendly as ever. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Lapointe family during this time of your loss.
February 18, 2012
Played in many a ball game against "Sam" (never really knew for sure if it was Sam or Bruce) and we relived those days when we bumped into each other walking the streets of Winooski these past few years. Very nice guy. David "Bambi" Lefebvre

I was very sorry to read of Sam's passing. I got to first know him when my wife and I lived in Winooski many years ago, and got a chance to play softball against him way back in the 70s. He was a great guy, and a tremendous athlete. He was among many great ballplayers from Winooski, including many members of the Lapointe family.
Sam was part of the fabric that makes Winooski such a wonderful city, and I know he will be missed greatly there, and in the Greater Burlington area.
I will miss crossing paths with him, and catching up on the sports scene. He was one of the "good guys"..
RIP, Sam...

I have wonderful memories of playing baseball and softball with Sam and Butch and all the Winooski boy's as Sam would call us.
We were like family ,always played hard and celebrated hard too after the games.Sam loved to win and he was such a tough competitor, something you are born with if you are from or ever lived in Winooski.
Sam thank you for all the great times and memories .
I am proud to call you my friend.
Rest in peace my friend.
