in his notebooks. He enjoyed many game nights with his dear friends who lovingly called themselves the B*tches. He was also a proud firearms enthusiast with a well-loved collection, appreciating both the history and craftsmanship of each piece. Above all, Sam cherished time with family. He created a lifetime of memories filled with love, laughter, and togetherness. His legacy will live on through the stories and the traditions passed
down through generations.
