My parents were both great friends of Sammy and Eileen and I will never forget how good they both were to Dad after he had his stroke. One of the things that always come to mind when thinking of your family was the "Sammy Dunn Weekend" every fall when Sam, Dad, and a couple of other friends would close up the cottage for the fall. The anticipation for this weekend around our house was always high as Dad looked forward to it so enthusiastically that it infected the rest of us. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful parents with the Snow Family.
My sincere condolences on your loss.

Uncle Sam was always the tease. Always smiling and joking. He'd come by Dunn Roamin and bang on the wall and DD would bark like crazy. I think she loved him as much as we did.

With Sammy's passing so many wonderful memories have flooded in, both he and Eileen were such a great part of my childhood. Their memories live on with a smile in my heart.

I am so sorry to hear of Sam's passing. He and Eileen were good friends of my parents, Art and Thelma Murray. They all used to have a wonderful time together and I remember them all laughing and enjoying life. My condolences to the family.
