Sam was so much fun to work with at Greg´s estate sales. He was entertaining with many stories and knowledgeable about so many subjects . We will truly miss him.

Saw Sam over the past few years at tractor shows all over the US.
My brother and I had the rare opportunity to go visit Sam in Henderson a few years back to tour his facilities and property and look at his collection.
He will be dearly missed by us and many others who knew him.
