Sam was so dear to me and my kids, when I started at the credit union he trained me and from there we became close friends. He was always there to help support my kids with school fund raisers and also my church. I remember Sam coming to my home when I was admitted to the hospital to make sure my kids had dinner. He often times called me and let me know that he was just thinking of me and the kids. Heaven has received a real Angel...RIP Sam
