He was passionate about development of Atlantic City and worked until he passed away. Sam helped many immigrants set up businesses for their families in the United States.

Dear Margo, Eric, and Nadia.
We are so sorry to hear that Sam has passed away. It is difficult to loose someone who was such an important part of your life. We hope that his memories will help you with this loss.
It cannot be a coincidence that I thought of Sam today. I wondered about him and looked for information about him on the internet. That is how I found out of his passing. Wishing you peace in your heart..
Best wishes, Janita and Steve Ricci, Lynden, WA
