In his younger years, Sam developed many skills that were necessary for making a living. Among which were brick layer, stucco and roofer and cooking for the soup kitchen. His latest years were with Nutty Club before retiring. Two of his life's passions were fishing and hunting. Sam had a good sense of humor and was always there with helping hands in any situation. His door, like his heart was always open to all. He made a difference in the lives of the people he knew and his memory will live on. Special thanks to the doctors and staff at Riverview Health Centre 3E for their care towards Sam. At Sam's request cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held at a later date.
