      I was unfortunate to only have met Sam once in my life..a relation that I never knew existed, but talk about making a good first impression. He blessed us with music and song on my Dad’s 8Oth Birthday Celebration and he blew us away. His personality lit up any room and a smile for days. I wish I had more time to know this wonderful man. Our deepest condolences go out to his entire family, loss is never easy but it’s more difficult when it happens so quickly. God Bless you all and I believe there’s quite the party up in heaven tonight.
