I am very sorry to hear that Sam has passed. God bless you Sam and your Family at this time. We had some wonderful times together in the years you had Aptco. Never forget the time you had a plow put on the front of your Lincoln to push snow out your driveway. The little gits we sent back and forth were touching and sometimes downright ornery. Walk in the bright light my friend, forever.
