Judy and family, I was so saddened to hear about Sam passing away. He was a wonderful neighbor and would do anything for you. I remember after my husband passed away, I was painting my bedroom, and I did a terrible job, and he offered to repaint it for me. I will always remember his wonderful smile.

Sam and I were childhood friends back in the
Sycaway days. Hung around " Shady Cool" our childhood meeting place. Ah, The simple days when we didn´t have a care in the world. Like all, we grew up went our separate ways. Always reminiscing when we ran each to one another. He was a friend that I shall miss.
