Sam proudly served in the US Air Force. He retired as a Senior Master Sergeant after 28 years of service in which he became a highly decorated C-130 instructor flight engineer with three tours in Vietnam. His legacy of service carried down through his son and two grandsons. After retirement, Sam had many hobbies which included working in the tool department of Sears where his family suspected it was for the employee discount and to control his Craftsman tool addiction. In short, he became the Craftsman man!! He was a prankster, he loved gardening, and loved
working on cars. He was a coin collector and loved going to coin shows with his family.

Sam was a two-time cancer survivor. He served his country honorably, loved his family dearly and their lives will never be the same without him.
