Sam was a well respected man who was very loved by his children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. He was a journeyman electrician and a mentor to many other up and coming electricians. He always had a smile on his face at work and would laugh out loud at jokes he was telling himself. His unique sense of humor was appreciated by all.
He was an avid Chicago Cubs fan win or lose, as well as a Nascar fan. He enjoyed going to baseball spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona for the last four years to see the Chicago Cubs. In his spare time Sam enjoyed fishing at the Pecos River and was thrilled every time he caught a trout. He also enjoyed making jewelry and collecting baseball cards.
Sam was the love of Janet's life and she will always cherish the time they had together. He will always be loved, and never forgotten.
