Sam was a great person. His smile and gentle way will be missed. He was always polite, and kind. I met Sam several years ago, and liked him immediately. God bless you Sam, and I pray that the good memories will help ease the pain for the family. Remember always that Sam touched many people without knowing how much. God bless.
