Sam was born in Havre de Grace on July 25, 1953 where he lived and worked throughout his life as a carpet and flooring installer. Sam was a happy-go-lucky guy who was always “the life of the party” and who lived his life to the fullest. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting deer and upland game as well as Canada geese. He was an excellent fisherman and spent much time boating, fishing and dipping white perch on the Susquehanna River. Earlier in his life he spent time scuba diving with dad. Sam was devoted to his beagle hunting dogs and they were likewise devoted to him. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Sam’s grandson, Keith.
