Heart-felt condolences to Sam's wife Marci, his sons Ben and Luke, his daughter-in-law Morna and his grandson Liam.

Although we only met Sam 6 years ago when Sam's son Ben and my daughter Morna brought two extended families together, Sam was one of the major contributors to the bonding that occurred. His wit and warmth, combined with his joy for life and open affection, made it seem like he had been a family member for decades rather than just a few years.

We will never forget Sam's teddy bear hugs, his joyous laughter, his childlike excitement at Christmas, his brilliant barbecue techniques, his incandescent love for his sons and grandson and his indefatigable spirit that shined constantly through the physical pain and disability of his latter years.

Sam will be sadly missed, but always remembered by those of us who were lucky enough to be a part of his extended family.

May Sam's gregarious love and spirit continue to shine and bring comfort to all of those he left behind.

Laura, Mike and Brandon Bissell
