I just saw this, I was stunned! so sorry for your loss, I always enjoyed working with Sam, he was always a great co-worker and resource for knowledge.
Lorna, God’s comfort to you and all the family...there will never be another Sam! He folded me right into the crew in the Tool and Die Shop in 1987. Soon I would buy a Gerstner Toolbox at his urging. Thanks to you both for helping me find some nice ladies to date between marriages. Sam was so proud of David! I will miss how engaging he was and having a great laugh as his stories unfolded. I know you will treasure the many memories you have together...bless you dear lady...
Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength during the days and weeks ahead.
I have many fond memories of Sam and his sisters, Kathy and Cynthia, and my siblings spending summer breaks together, going to Temple Grove, hanging out at our grandparent's house playing under the weeping willow trees, playing Red Rover and Red Light, Green Light, being outside until we were called to come in for dinner. Times as we got older that Sam drove me back to college on a Sunday after coming home for a weekend visit. Catching up at a Family Reunion that we both made it back to at the same time. Distance may have been between us, but as for all my cousins, family ties know no distance, and we could always pick up and talk like time stood still. He will be missed and never forgotten. My deepest sympathy to the entire family at this tragic loss.
We are so sad to hear of Sam’s passing. He was one of the good guys and we are so glad we knew him. With love, Buck and Mary Bebout
I always loved hearing Sam talk at church. He was very forthright and said things as he thought. I will miss his Xmas cards that updated us on things happening in his life. He was always an asset to our congregation. I can still remember him saying one time that he talked to God like a friend and often in his vehicle. He will be missed by all of us.

I was very glad to hear he went peacefully, but it wasn't a surprise. He has always been preparing to meet God, and I'm sure will have a list of questions to confront Him with. Sam has been part of my life for 50 years, and although the actual time in each other's physical presence has not been a lot, with years between each occurrence as adults, our conversations were all deep and memorable. I always saw new perspectives, learned new ways of thinking, and had new avenues to explore when we parted again. All of my memories are scented with fresh-mown grass, sparkled with the sun glinting on the lake, and refreshing as when we ran in to the main hall at Temple Grove, out of the heat, to share another meal. I am so lucky to have known him.
