I didn’t know you Sam, but we shared the same great grandparents. You look so much like my father. The same blue eyes (that I inherited too). I wish we could have shared memories. In my research I see where our fathers were both WW2 POW’s. Rest in peace cousin.

Sam was a wonderful Father & Grandfather and a great guy. He had an infectious laugh and smile and was always a gracious host no matter when we would pop in to say hello. We always felt like we were family when visiting the home of Sam & Jeanie. He will be missed and fondly remembered.
