Dear Sam, Julie & entire Maranto Family:

We were so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Mom & Dad send their condolences and are very sorry that they couldn't pay their respects in person, but we just found out about his passing. They felt really bad about that - they really liked your father, he was a good man and always good to them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My sincere sympathy to the family of Sam. I bought all my cars from Sam and it was always a pleasure. He was always sending gift baskets to my wife Toni as a thank you for our business. We will sure miss him.

Dear Sophie, Starr and Scott,



Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss. You may recall I worked with Sam at Hollingshead & purchased 2 cars from him at Jack Thompson. He was a wonderful man, was always so proud of all of you, and was a pleasure to have as a friend.



May God Bless & look after your family.
