In a brief four years, I knew Sam as a fellow Rotarian. My first one-on-one conversation was over lunch a couple of years ago during our Rotary Christmas break. It didn't take long for us to talk candidly about our lives, our professional experiences, and our joys and disappointments. Sam seemed always willing to join in supporting a social or fundraiser, but in more recent times that became increasingly difficult. I believe that our Wednesday meetings were a highlight of his week, so after he gave up driving several of us volunteered to get Sam to meetings when he was able. At meetings he would enjoy lunch and fellowship with others, and regularly ask our speakers to speak up please. Every time I picked him up to attend a meeting, Sam would express concern about the club and ask what we were doing to sustain it. Sam had a quick wit and a good sense of humor. Two weeks ago, I had recover my sunglasses that Sam had mistakenly taken into his apartment. His last comment to me was, Thank you for your kindness.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your father, my uncle.

I know that we will all miss Sam, but know he is now in a better place, free of pain and confusion.

With love, Scott and Becky Sherman
