I am so sorry to find out that Sam passed. Sam was such a great guy. He had a wonderful, giving heart and would do anything for anyone. His smile was contagious and he could make anyone laugh even in the worst of situations. He will be greatly missed by so many. Fly high Sam and watch over us all until we meet again. R.I.P
