May 6, 2020 at 12:13 pmThere are no other words than truly heartbroken to hear of Sam’s passing. I’ve known Sam since I was probably 5 yrs old, and every time we’d see him, he’d have silly comments or stories, half of which you never knew were true or not! And his smile….ALWAYS a smile! There will never be another kind hearted soul as his. Your visits to the campsite will be cherished forever and missed deeply. Hugs to you Doreen & family.
