Sam: it's almost 3 years since you've gone. Finally, i have to move out our townhouse. the auction will be on May 7. i will go there see if i might buy this townhouse in a right price. if someone bid higher what i want. let them have it. i know you don't blame me about it. i will move to Glenda's house and you know i don't like it. but it's the best choice in my situation. however, everyday morning, i have to wake up earlier because i have to drive longer time to school. however, i should not drive to Moncks Corner Campus after Summer Semester. i know you are there somewhere. i miss you all the time. you are wonderful, golden-heart man. i should make your life easier, happier. in other words, i love you so much. i have down what i could do the best. i will get two AA degree in the end of this year. and i already have my Airframe License. i will have my Powerplant license in Oct, 2013. when i move out, i cannot take everything with me. i will only take what i need. i hate to do it because almost everything in this townhouse is yours. i hope you understand it. i love you always, and you are always in my heart. if possible, come to my dream, let's talk, give me right direction. peace and love Charlie

Although our paths crossed few and far between, I remember most your willingness to help anyone you could.

Your warm smile was welcomed daily. I endured many of the same challenges he faced.

Sam was a great friend and someone I could share my thoughts and feeling with. I will greatly miss his sense of humor and his kindness. I touched many lives and didn't realize his impact along the way. I know that he will be missed by many, but now shares the secrets of a wonderful place. My prayer is that he continues to share is blessings on all that knew and loved him.

Greetings, Old Friend!
Again, I reiterate the fact I considered it both an honor and a privilege to have you as a Team Leader and Personal Friend. Someone once said: "Each of us are endowed by our Creator with the ability to Make A Difference in our world, either good or bad..." I believe I may freely state without fear of contradiction: "You Made A Positive Difference, Sam!" Many of our lives, both personally as well as professionally were enhanced by our interaction with you. You personified the term: 'Customer Service Representative.' You were a Fountain of Knowledge and Wisdom. You were a Living Example of Humility and Respect. You were the type of Boss all truly want to work for, but only a 'Select Few' ever are fortunate enough to have. You were a 'Gentle Giant' whose compassion and dedication will be Deeply Missed. Rest In Peace, Old Friend.
