Glen and I were blessed to know Sam thru the bar business. Thru the years of running our business with Sam and Grace up the street I will cherish fond memories of sharing bar business talk. Most of all I know my husband misses picking Sam up on Thursday to kick back with the guys. We will miss him, With Sincere Sympathy Glen and Sue Klinger

As the angels welcome Sammy at the pearly gates the last one in line will be JB. After they greet each other he'll pull out the cards and say "lets play some cribbage". Sammy, I'll miss ya'.

I first met Sammie 16 years ago when he was running the tavern and had a baseball team named the Wino's. Tom and Koa brought me there and I met a man that I knew I would like. He is with his buddy J B now. May God Bless your family at this time and know that Sammie will be in all our hearts forever. He will never be far.
