I am very sorry to hear about Sam. My heart aches for his wife, family and close friends. Prayers, thoughts and hugs sent. We had lost touch after High School but recently reconnected here in MI. when he came into town. We exchanged many emails and enjoyed each others friendship. He will be terribly missed. RIP Sam!
