Whenever I think of Sam, that thought brings me a very warm smile. He was funny, charming, and quite a character. I loved him, and Betty, the moment I met them. Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time, and that you have my deepest condolences.

Dear Sai Ann and Family,
Your father will be warmly remembered for his charm and daring wit. His happy smile hinted that a joke was soon coming and to be prepared for a good laugh. He was so very proud of his wonderful family and his military service. May you find comfort in the legacy of kindness that he was known for.
