Heaven gained another sweet angel from our family. Uncle Sam was a good christian man he always showed me love and kindness:) I apent alot of time with Uncle Sam and his family growing up it was good times I will always remeber them and his humor he always made me smile. Uncle Sam.and Aunt Mary always came to visit my mom and dad they had a wonderful friendship. I have to admit we always had to eat Dejorino pizza and uncle sam loved my peanutbutter fudge. I will greatly miss him but I praise god that I know I will see him again. RIP.UNCLE SAM XOXO
