Sammy,
You are one of my best friends, ever. Days in the bike shop, races, and lake fun will forever live with me. We rode together, skied together, videogamed together, and shared times and stories that could be re-told for my generations to come. I remember the time we were across the lake on our skis, you caught a record breaking big mouth and took it back to get recorded under your foot in the tray. Your picture was up in Rock Caynyon Marina as top dog. You know this is only one of hundreds.
I believe your Mom and General are sitting next to you in Heaven. Alway remember, pumpkin green craws in the weeds gets the big ones. Fish on, brother.
Your Friend Forever,
JBC

I will never forget that innocent little smile you had everytime I saw you. We were friends for a very long time, as far back as the bowling alley as kids. I will miss you so very much Sammy. Rest peacefully.
