My condolences go out to all of Sam's Family and relatives. Although I only knew Sam for a while when I worked at the county, he was a fun guy and always had something to do. I'm so sorry to hear about this because he was a real good guy. Rest in peace Sam.

Sam was a good guy. Enjoyed his company on Dom Leo’s football trips. Have good memories. May god bless your families and May Sam’s memories live on.

Sam and Maryann are very dear to our family. My favorite memory with Sam was his loving way he always engaged my mom. They laughed often and he always made people smile. His meatballs were the BEST!! I know he was the only person I saw MaryAnn fall in love with. For that alone Sam, you will always be a one in a million! Thank you for making her so happy!! We love you and you will be missed. Rest in peace. Love, Robby, Sue, Patrick, Jack and Andrew
To the family of Sam: We are extremely saddened to read about Sam's passing. We had chatted with him at Sacred Heart after mass over the last several years. Know that he is safely home with the Blessed Mother and her Son. He suffered for many years following his injury but championed through it. With much sympathy and hope --
