Sam became family to us. He is missed so much and loved so much more. He was a man of opinions, but I was lucky enough to see his soft side. We love you Sam. Condolences to the family.

To all the family of Mr. Sam. Our sincere condolences. We, and our dad, thought the world of Sam. He was a great friend to dad. He was always coming in to check on dad. They sat together at meal times, and always enjoyed visiting. Dad misses him so much, and we do too. We are so sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace and comfort.

So sorry to hear about Sam. He got me my first Real Estate Job working for his sister Joyce at C-21 over 40 years ago. I remember when he sold his first Million dollar farm back in the early 80's and that inspired my Mom Donna to get me in the business. Sam helped me and encouraged me. He will be missed.
Love to your family
