Aunt MaryAnn and Uncle Joe and family,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Sam.
I will always remember being a kid on the block and seeing Sam out on the front stairs while I rode my bike or walked by or when I came to see you and Greg and Gary.
We always chatted just small talk but he always had something nice to say and always had that smile.
He was a fixture on Haynes Court on the front porch and will always be remembered very fondly with all the great childhood memories of mine.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in this time.
Remember all the good times you shared to get you through these hard times of loss.
May God bless your family, sincerely, Stephen Mostacchio and family.
