To a teenage girl like me in the 80s, he was the epitome of dashing and debonair. He once told me never to settle for a stupid punk kid for a boyfriend. I never did Sam! Thanks for the valuable life lesson. Now it's just fairways and greens for all eternity.
Big hug Timo and Shy. Love you guys.

So sorry for your loss Ann, Shy and Timo-

My fondest memory of Sam was the expression on his face when Timo won the club championship in '92. What a great guy he was. I know the three of you will miss him very much.

Shy, Timo and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I unfortunately, did not know Sam. However, I do know what incredible sons he raised! You are both such fine men and to me that speaks to Sam's character more than anything else he could have ever done. I know you will miss him much, but find peace in all the incredible memories you have to cherish. Our thoughts and prayers and with you and your family during this very difficult time.
