Sam was a good friend and helped mentor me on somethings involving the different vet clubs. He will be missed.
I am So sorry for your lose. I just searched and found this Obit. Sam an I were very good friends. we got in touch back in the late 80’s. He went to Muskegon Catholic central and I went to Muskegon High School. We met through a mutual acquaintance. I am the one who got him in trouble with his parents and had to Join The Military.I cared a lot for Sam and sure did miss him. Last time I got to see him was June of 1964 just a few days before he signed up. Sandy I am so sorry for your lose. God be with you and Sam is for sure with our maker God bless you and your family.
