My cousin Sam Was a great guy with a great sense of humor as far as my childhood and young adult memories go. Always a friendly wry smile. Sam was brother Larry´s age I was 5 years younger. We moved South 30 plus years ago and didn´t have a lot of interaction but the childhood memories make me smile. Rest in Peace Sam. Mike Creagan & Family
