Sorry to see Sam has left us. He was a member of our class of 46 kids at St. Peter's in 1956. Sam is the first one I have heard of in recent years.
He was a good guy and saw him at 1956 reunions over the years.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Sam's passing. He was a great man to work for, my first full time job. He always treated his employees as they should be treated and I will always have many fond memories of him. Prayers to LuAnn, Jeff and the rest of the family.

My deepest sympathy to all of you.
Your father was such a wonderful man. He was a dear and caring friend to my parents. I know he will be missed.
I will always have fond memories of tennis games (in early years) and times spent with our family.
My deepest sympathy,
