I have had the pleasure of knowing Sam for many years and he was a lovely person. You know you can meet thousands of people during your life and some of them stand out from the crowd and Sam was one of them. Sam, you will never be forgotten. Remembered always. Eileen xx

Its rare that I meet someone who I instantly like, someone who as a person has an impact on me as an individual, but Sam certainly was that. He was one of the most genuine and nicest people I have ever, or am likely to meet. I will always look back at the short time I spent with him with the utmost affection and respect.

POEM
Miss me, but let me go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go
For this is a journey that we must all take
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely, and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go
