Dear Jenny, Rose Mary, Ron, Sam and Justine -- We feel like we've lost a family member in Sam, Sr. passing away, but we have many good memories of him at holidays and at the lake. Just this past summer when we were at the lake together, he returned from dialysis, ate with us, and got right on that pontoon boat for a nice ride. In the face of adversity and not feeling well, he was strong, and ate and laughed with us. Let that be a lesson to all of us never to quit, even when the chips are down.

Our condolences to all of you. Of course we're always there if you need us.
