Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Pam, Debbie and families, I was sad to read in fridays paper about the passing of Sam. Your parents were very delightful people. I got to know your mom as a patient at Dr. Ricks’ office and your Dad I had known for years and also had the pleasure of taking care of him too.He touched many lives. It’s a honor to have known Sam and Sheillah. My heart hurts for you all. May Gods’ loving arms embrace you and give you comfort, peace and even a few smiles with wonderful thoughts of your parents. My sincere sympathy, Jo Cuper
Sam was a great man. I was blessed to have worked for him, learn from him, and to call him a friend. The statement from his obituary pretty much sums it up. ‘His life was characterized by his honesty, integrity and generosity.’ He always found a way to see the good in people. My deepest sympathy to those close to him. His passing is a great loss.
Pamala, I have the fondest of memories of your father — sitting at the counter at the Hudson store, the way he laughed and joked with us when we were silly high school s. He was truly a man of integrity and warmth, and I know he will be dearly missed. Connie (Kelly Pickler) Kiewel
