Bill and I were so sorry to learn of Sam's passing. What a sweet spirit he had. I always enjoyed seeing him at Mill's and catching up a bit. Our prayers are with you and your family.

I was so sorry to hear of Sam's passing. I have missed him at Mills. My late husband, Mike, was very fond of him and so enjoyed joking with him. I know he loved his family and my thoughts are with them.

My prayers go out to the family and loved ones of Sam. I went to school with him but remember him most from his years at Mills. I worked as a nurse in the "old" medical center and when I'd come into the market, he'd tell whoever was around us how many times we'd sewn him up after he got over zealous trimming meat. All this was said with a grin and a chuckle. He was a special man and I thought so highly of him. May God's tender mercies help you through this time.

I was surely sorry to hear about Sam's passing last week, I only found out last night. I have many very fond memories of working with Sam during my high school and college days at Mills Market. It is a time of my life I'll never forget. I remember all the times we went fishing as a group and the fun we had. My thoughts are with his family in their time of loss.
