Elaine and family I am so very sorry for your loss.
Nicole and family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I will continue to keep you all in prayer.
I will always have such fond, happy memories of Sam. I will think of him every day, as I work in “Sam’s building,” or as we used to call the K of C many, many moons ago. He always was full of stories and nice compliments, and will always remember him in his chair watching westerns. He leave a very big boot to fill. Love you Sam, salut! xoxo
Sam, I have so many happy memories growing up across the street. You must have missed Josie so that you just had to leave. I know you are together in Heaven. I will think of you every day while I work in what will always be known as “Sam’s building.” You will be so very dearly missed and leave a big pairs of cowboy boots to fill. Elaine, Dee, Joe, Dawn, Nicole, Tara and whole family – my sympathies and prayers to you all. xoxo
Dawn,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry for your loss. My condolences
to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss and feel the same as you. Your loss is my loss. Uncle Sammy meant the world to me growing up. Every Saturday (rain, shine, sometimes snow) he and Auntie Jo would be at my house. While she played cards, he’d spend time with me and my brother. We’d walk around the block with his sister (my grandmother), watch Hee Haw, Lawrence Welk, and sometimes an old WWII movie or old spaghetti western 🙂
The joy and laughter he brought to my young life growing up is immeasurable, and for that I now have a void. He will be greatly missed. May he Rest In Peace until we meat again.
