Visited Woodlawn Cemetary yesterday (6/13/2016) to see my parents burial place. My mother Angela Perez passed this March 9th and my husband noticed my godparents are buried on the same side of the building! Didn't know they passed as we lost touch several years ago. So nice to see they are all together in heaven! My memories of Sam- the nicest man in the world - are of teaching me how to bowl when I was 12 or 13. May he rest in peace. Carol Perez Gannon

So sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful man. I have known him since I was born. He drilled my first blue 8 lb bowling ball and engraved my name on it in white. I will always have the upmost respect for this man. He always had a smile when he saw you, was respected by all and had the most kind gentle heart.
