I am also one of the PM shift CNA's at LindenGrove...I just wanted to say that Sam will be missed dearly by all of us there. There were countless times when I would be in a bad mood from something and would go in to talk to Sam and he could cheer me up. He just had a way with people like that I think...he could always make me smile. He was such a wonderful person with such a warm heart, and I only knew him for a year and a half. Although it is sad when people pass on at my job, there are only the certain few that you really get connected too...Sam was one of them for me. I have soo many good memories with him and will never forget them. Thank you for the time that I got to spend with him...I know he was loved dearly by all of his family who he also loved very much. My prayers and condolences are with all of his family for losing such a wonderful guy...thank God he is in a much happier place now though and done with his suffering.

Dear Orland Family,
It was a pleasure and a privilege to take care of Sam at Linden Grove. I'll miss the way he always said, "Hey, Maria!" every time he saw me. I'll also miss his stories about being in a band, owning his own Deli, how to make sausage, and about his wife and family. He will be greatly missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am one of the PM shift CNAs that cared for Sam. They say people come into your life for a reason. I believe that of Sam. I am grateful I had the chance not only to meet Sam, but to care for him as well. Without even knowing it, Sam has taught me a lot. I've learned things by listening to him talk about his life, and his experiences. It sounded like he had a good life surrounded by people who loved him and cared for him, and that didn't change when he came to Linden Grove. We all loved and cared for Sam. I loved his sense of humor and the comments he would make and the facial expressions he would have. He was hilarious. I will miss the way he had us comb his hair over and over again until we had gotten it just right. We could never just take him past the mirror without stopping to check his hair. He took such pride in his appearance even when his health was declining. I thought that was something. When we work with people, like Sam, day in and day out, we get very attached to them. As we did Sam. What makes me feel so good to see, as I did with Sam, is that he had a family that loved him, and cared for him, and was so very good to him. Sam spoke often about his wife and how much he missed her. I remember him saying one time "Who am I suppose to love now?" He wanted to be with her and I believe he finally is there. So, to Sam I wish him eternal happiness and may he rest in peace. To his family, thank you for being so good to him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Family and Friends of Sam Orlando, I was very saddened to hear of Mr. Orlando's passing. Over the past several years, I've had the honor of helping out over the holidays driving Sam to be with relatives. I had a great affection for him, and my kids adored him. The holidays won't be the same. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Bob Potter
