I am so sorry to hear of Sammy passing. I remember his father's antique store on Route 60. Prayers and comfort to the family.

Jim, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your brother Sam.. Your Father and my Father we're good friends in the antique business. That is how I got to know you and Sam. Also Jim you drove my bride and I from our wedding to our reception in your antique car. I lost touch over the years but will never forget all of the Burdettes
Sencerely,
Kevin Mundstock
