I am so very sorry to hear of Sam's passing. He was a good friend to me and my family. He especially was close to Harry as they shared a love for Phoebus Lodge #82. Sam was there for me when Harry passed, and checked in on me every little while. He was a good man with a good heart and will be missed. Thoughts and prayers from my family to yours.

A pleasure knowing you Sam through my Aunt Rose Jaquay. Your presence at our family gatherings and sharing a few jokes now and then were humorous. We will miss you and thanks for making memories with our family. Each time I am at a flea market I'll be thinking of you. Rest in Peace!
