We mourn the passing of Sam Michael Scalise, a cherished family man. He leaves behind his wife, Heidi, and their daughter, Emily. Sam was a devoted son to his parents, Peter and Betty, and a respected son-in-law to Jean and Al Hess. His presence will be missed by his sister-in-law, Holli, and brother-in-law, Zach Hess. Sam also leaves behind his beloved dog, Murphy. The family expresses their gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. A private funeral service will be held in honor of Sam. Those wishing to commemorate Sam's life may consider sending flowers or planting a tree in his memory.
