Our warmest condolences to the family. One of the most caring and considerate individuals I had the pleasure to know and spend some special times with. My late brother Tim would agree, you will be greatly missed Sam.

Sam was brilliant, fun, warm, and kind. The world is now a less interesting and less beautiful place.

Love doesn't die,
People do.
So, when all that's left of me
Is love,
Give me away
