Last Saturday night, Johnny Cifelli and Alfio Palanca and I were out at a 70th birthday party and Sammy´s name came up when we were talking about the Marian basketball team playing the Bloom Trojans back in 1973. Sammy was a starting guard along side gunner Joe Berg for Marian as they battled a talented Bloom team. (Bloom prevailed). We all played pick up basketball games at the old East view gym in Steger. Heated, competitive battles, loving every minute of it. Sammy and I and his cousin Joe, who I worked with at Red Lion all thru high school, use to sneak on Lincolnshire Country Club on Monday´s (caddy day) to enjoy the day on a great golf course. Joe´s dad was a member there although we weren´t suppose to be out there but that´s what made it more fun. Not a care in the world. Lord, those were the days. Remembering you my friend. We swished some nets and carded some birdies together. Rest in piece.

WOW a year. My Mom worked at the Red Lion & Brown Onion. The Scrementi Family, Stevie & Sam practically grew alongside my siblings and myself. With Easter around the corner I recall my Mom working at Red Lion making the hot cross Easter Buns.

Loved sitting at Scrementi's when home from college and listening to the great stories of everyone around the bar, especially Sam. Great man and lots of beautiful memories from my younger days. God bless his family.

I wish I had current contact information to send privately a message to Mark, Steve and David and Sam's family. Sammy and I grew up together in Steger, He was one year my junior, and he and Mark and I with a few neighborhood friends made several trips to Wrigley field as kids.. That' s when it was safe, Sammy presided me at NIU by a year but he rode with me to Dekalb for my first day moving from Steger to NIU.
Sammy knew how to make the connections " south side Chgo Hts Way" which he generously introduced me to all the " go to" people in Dekalb. He made it his business to know them and they knew him.
He was a wonderful guy and will be deeply missed.
A handsome guy and outstanding athlete.

Very saddened to hear the news about my dear friend and former Steger Babe Ruth baseball teammate. It’s been a few years since we brought the championship trophy back to Sammy’s hometown. He was a great athlete and a man with a heart of gold. Rest In Peace my friend.
