I was so sorry to hear this.Sammy made my family feel so welcomed when we bought our property in 1991. He and my dad became friends and Sammy was always fast to lend a helping hand. My parents have both passed (2006 and 2019), but I know I will miss seeing him around Little Oyster Lane. God Speed, Sammy. You were loved by so many and will be truly missed.
