I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Sam. I worked with him in 1954 and 1955 at Electric Sorting Machine Company. I learned a lot about the racing boats from him.

It was a pleasure to care for Sam. They both made me feel welcome in their home.I will miss his jokes and the welcome he gave me each time. He said one shower a week is enough. I was able to shave and bathe him three times a week.He was a very intelligent man.I feel privileged to have known him. I love you Sam
