Sam served his country with honor during the Vietnam War, a period he looked back on with immense pride. He received multiple medals in recognition of his outstanding bravery and his remarkable actions in the line of duty. His commitment to service was matched only by his dedication to his family.

He found joy in simple pleasures, whether it was fishing with his grandkids or enjoying his favorite old Western TV shows and Wheel of Fortune.

Throughout his life, Sam's selflessness and readiness to be there for others were hallmarks of his character. He was a source of strength and joy for his family and friends, always willing to lend a hand or share a smile.
