Uncle Sam, you were like a father to us. You will be so greatly missed. Have fun with my dad, brother and Aunt Joanie, they have been waiting for you. I will never forget you holding court and all of us kids being the defendants.. many — so many good memories of you. You were such a big part of our lives. All of us kids will remain in contact because of the relationship our parents laid a foundation for. Have fun in heaven. We will see you again.
Sam will be greatly missed by all the employees at Sams Club ! He always brightened our day when he and Wanda would come in to shop ! We are so blessed to have known him . Our prayers are with Wanda and all the family .
