I was married to Sam from 1977.
- 1982. He was incredibly intelligent ( a trait he passed to his daughter) talented l, good looking, and had a great sense of humor. Addiction got a hold of him and he was unable to beat it. Everyone who knew Sam loved him, and he loved back.. he loved hard, he worked hard, he was always one step from absolute greatness. Sending so much love to everyone who knew him. He will be a light in the darkness
Forever
