Sam was a wonderful, funny and loving man who was perfect for my sister, Kim. I am privileged to have spent time with Sam and his family. My sister was the happiest I have ever known her to be because of Sam's love. I will always be grateful to Sam for protecting Kim, then making her feel so loved and full of life, and for giving her a new family. I will miss him, and I know he was a treasure to everyone who knew him. Peace be with you, Sam.
