Sam lived across the hall from my father-in-law, Tony. Sam always had a smile and a joke ready for everyone. He was a delightful man and will be missed. My FIL finally had to move out of Ind Living sometime ago so we hadn't been back to that section of Addolorata in quite a while. We were sorry to hear of Sam's passing.

✝ Born into life 1919
✝ Born into eternal life 2017
The youngest born into the Delisi family of 8 siblings. My heart is so full of love for my Uncle Sam. Such a positive role model, he worked hard at the family business over sixty years, serving our country and he played hard loving life, visiting various casinos with his beloved wife Aunt Helene. Wonderful memories of joyful times together of numerous stories and jokes he shared with many. A devoted man that touched the heart of several with a few kind words, his infectious smile or that twinkle in his eye.

The mailing address has changed, my 'pen-pal' has moved to heaven reunited with your wife, siblings & parents. Darlene & Sam, your Dad will be greatly missed yet I will cherish the memories forever. Celebrating him and a life well lived. All Sam's are good.
✝ May he rest in eternal peace ☮

When Darlene and I were young and living in our first apartment Sam made sure we had our weekly supply of fruit and vegetables. Over the years he continued to make sure I ate my fruits and vegetables. He was so kind, generous and so funny. I will miss the jokes and stories and the twinkle in his eyes.

A gentle caring man with a heart of gold. Telling stories & sharing jokes. Always a smile & a few kinds words. ALL SAM'S ARE GOOD
