Our condolences to Sammy's immediate family and all the Castaneda family from the Rodriguez and Villarreal family in San Antonio. I don't believe I ever met him and if I did we were very young. He sounded to be a great man and is now in heaven joining his brother and many other family members. I don't have words to express your loss because we have also been there twice and it's something so unexplainable. I hope his memory will bring joy and laughter like it has to us with my brother. Only time will heal, God Bless You all from all of us.
