“Sam was surely one of a kind. Even though a year has passed, his memory still lives on in those who's paths crossed with Sam's. His kindness, wisdom, and leadership has made an everlasting impression. I always thought of Sam as "The Grand Poobah"! I can still hear his laughter and his smile is embeded in my memory. Sam is loved and missed. Much Love, Lisa Patterson”
