I have many fond memories of Sam (and Sue) clamming at Jones Beach, going bowling with me and my dad Fred, hanging out and feasting on authentic home-cooked Italian meals at my Aunt's dining room table, et al, during his and Sue's viists to the Bronx - to visit Sam's eldest brother and sister-in-law, my Uncle Leo and Zizi Mary. On these visits, "Uncle" Sam had such a great sense of humor and it was a better place when he was around. My sincere condolences to the family, as I know Sam will always be missed.
