    Uncle Sam was a powerful motivator and mentor, yet he showed so much compassion by comforting me through my own loss. Will miss him always, but Sam's legacy lives on through his extended family and many friends.

    I was very saddened when I was told about the sudden and tragic loss of Sam. I got to know Sam pretty well over the last number of years when we played golf together on Wednesdays and weekends at South Hills CC. We would often chat at length after our round of golf was over. I will miss him very much. My prayers are with you.
