~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My husband was a ''Gentle Giant'' with a sweet spirit, a kind heart and a great sense of humor. To know Sam was to love him, he was larger than life and a friend to all. We were married forty-three years-that was just not long enough. Sam went to be with our Heavenly Father on February 13, 2003. I miss him so very much, he will live in my heart forever. Barb Naccarato ~~~~~~~~ My Uncle Sam was a special man and I will miss him terribly. He was a kind, strong man with an incredible passion and zest for life. He loved unconditionally and had stronger family values than anyone I've ever known! I learned a great deal from him and will always be grateful he was a part of my life.
