So sorry to hear Sam passed away. What a great guy he was. I'll never forget the fun times working with Big Sam. You would always be smiling, when you were hanging out with Big Sam.
RIP my friend.

Our Prayers and thoughts are with you all. He was a great man!!! I wish I could have made it to the service. Hopefully we can set up time for a family visit. Some of my fondest childhood memories were when we visited the "Way Family". When I think back to those times it always brings a smile to my face. Tim, Mary and Anne.

We are so sorry to hear of uncle Sam's passing. I am sorry that we could not make it down for the services. I have nothing but great memories of the times that we had as kids visiting -the clam bakes were a real incredible. I had the chance to stop and see Uncle Sam some years ago when I was in Bethlem for business. He gave me a bag full of jewelry for Barbie, Sharon and Lana. It was a treat to talk to him and spend sometime watching QVC. Great memories all.
We would like to schedule a visit for the family to come and visit with all you when we can spend some time catching up.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. I will miss Uncle Sam.
Dave, Lana, Sarah, Aaron &Jill, Chris &Stephanie Collins

My Dear Friend Antoinette,
Heaven has gained an angel there is no doubt in my mind. Your Dad was always fun to be around. No one ever knew what he was going to say next. We will all miss him, but no one more than you. I pray you find comfort in knowing your parents and sister are together again. God bless you as you go through this difficult time. Please know I love you and I'm here for you if there is anything I can do. RIP "Dad"

We are deeply saddened by the loss of your father and grandfather---Mr. Sam Senneca. He was always such a friendly person who made us smile and laugh.
