I have so many good memories of Sam. When I first met he and his wife it was because he thought his daughter, Kelly had an imaginary friend who turned out to be my daughter. We spent many hours laughing, sharing dinners, listening to Elvis and watching scarry movies at Halloween with all of our children. He was kind and giving and just a good friend. He will never be forgotten and his spirit will live on in the memories he has left behind. My condolences and prayers go out to Linda, Cam and Kelly. Love Carol

Even though I have have been in Texas for many years, I remember Sam. Over the years our paths have crossed and it was always a pleasure to visit with him. He was a very likeable man. He reminded me of my father Milton Sr. I know he will be missed by all.
