Sam was a great person and fun loving friend. He always did what he could for his friends. He was a great person that is gone to soon! I had the pleasure of working with him and he was always the life of the crowd. He loved his family and was very proud of them! the struggles he had were deeper and needed to be one of God's angels! he was a bright light to anyone who encountered him! I was lucky to know him and will always be thankful for our friendship! May he rest in peace!
