I’m so sorry for your loss. Although I never met Sam in person, I spoke with him countless times over the years for business. He was always very courteous and respectful no matter the situation…good or bad. He spoke very fondly of his family. I will miss speaking and dealing with him, as he was always one of the really “good guys” that I don’t always get to deal with. RIP Sam
Sam was my best friend when we worked together at Montgomery Ward’s, then with Mac Tools. We had some great times together. Although we lost touch, I thought of him often. He will be missed!
