Jim Samanns Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Louis A DiGiacomo Funeral Home, Inc. on Apr. 28, 2023.
JIM "FISH" SAMANNS, passed away peacefully on April 26, 2023. Devoted husband of 49 years to Kathy (nee Murray). Loving father to Jackie Zarzycki (Mike), Laura Humenuk (Steve), and Jamie Panzer (Doug). Beloved grandfather to Ava Zarzycki, Michael Zarzycki, Steven Humenuk, Olivia Humenuk, Benji Panzer and Teagan Panzer. Dear brother to Carol Schmidt (Joe) and Donna Junod.
Jim was a lover of sports and a car enthusiast. As the years rolled on he stopped playing sports but he remained a faithful fan, bleeding Eagles green in the winter and sporting Phillies red all summer. Jim's true passion was his family. He was blessed with many opportunities to be surrounded by his children and grandchildren, cherishing each moment spent together and every memory made.
Relatives and friends are invited to his visitation Tuesday, May 2, 2023, from 9:30am until 11:00am at St. Christopher Church, 1330 Proctor Road, Philadelphia, PA 19116, immediately followed by his funeral mass 11:00am. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Fish's memory can be made to [email protected] (Philabundance, 3616 South Galloway Street, Philadelphia, PA 19148.)
