I will especially remember my brother Sam as a boat captain, and as a gracious host when we came to Michigan for our annual summer visits. He was always ready and willing to have us at his home or to take us all boating. I remember fondly our boat trip to Saugatuck for lunch and shopping. It was a bumpy ride home, but he handled it like a pro!
Rest in peace little brother!

Sam was not only a brother he was a friend. We spent a lot of time together laughing and talking about past and present issues. Sam was always available to help me when I needed it. Doing electrical work along with any repair or questions I had. He once took a bare bones shed and. Turned it into a bunkhouse with windows air conditioning and lights. There was nothing he couldn’t do. I wil miss him very much and think about him often RIP Sam

Sam was one of the best neighbors you could ask for. Anything you needed help with he was there, any piece of equipment you needed for something he had it. He had a great mind, very clever could create, fix, repair anything at all. He knew more about boats and motors than most boat sales reps did. He knew what degree a prop fin had to be for a specific amount of thrust to move a boat at whatever speed you were after. That carried over to cars as well. Never at a loss for what he was talking about. So smart about everything. Not many people like that anymore. He worked hard and smart. And enjoyed doing it. Sam was the definition of outdoor enthusiast in so many ways. Never missed a chance to get out in it and enjoy whatever season it was. He had a smile on his face whenever we met up and shared a humous wit or story that made us laugh. No one I know got the most out of life in to short of time than Sam. I am glad I knew him and will always remember him for his kindness and fun. My condolences to his daughter Jenna. Peace be yours now Sammy.
