I only learned of Sam's passing when I did a search after not hearing back from him after we had reconnected the year before! Sam and I served on recruiting duty here in New Jersey at the Garwood Recruiting Station, we would get out the gloves and he would pitch and I would catch for some exercise and bonding! Gone way to young friend and brother!

Sun Yi and Sam's family my deepest condolences! I just learned today from another friend of Sam's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss! I served with Sam in recruiting duty in New Jersey we shared a love of baseball and would play pitch and catch in the parking lot of the recruiting station in Garwood! Again, my condolences for your loss!
