Tributes
"Dear Carolyn and Family. I am so sorry for your loss. As you know I've known Sam since my Davie days and of course we were brought together again when you brought me flowers to cheer me up after my accident. Barry and I want you know we are both very sad to hear this. "
"Sam was such a warm and funny man. He always had a smile and a joke. He would come in the office and tell me a story and would almost be done before I realized he was pulling my leg. He could always make me laugh. I will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and everyone who loved and will always love him. "
"Sam was old school and I will miss his experience and friendship. I will have draw up some plans on on my mansion when I get to heaven. Timothy deCarion Chief Mechanical Inspector Davie"
"I will always remember Sam with such fondness; I work for the Town of Davie Building Division and we all held Sam in high regards!!! I guess the angels needed those wonderful jokes more than us. Rest in peace dear Sam. We will all miss you. "
"April and I send our thoughts and prayers to the family in this time. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. April and Curt Ray"
