He has been a good friend to the Willys community, and to thecj2apage. His funeral will be held at Christ Crossman United Methodist. 384 St Washington 22046, Saturday the 28th at 11:00 Sure am gonna miss you Sam. Thanks for being my friend, thanks for everything you've done for me and thanks for the memories. Edited by jpet - 23 Nov. 2015 at 4:51am |

I met Sam at the Willys Jeep Gathering in Maryland several years ago. He was a really nice guy and a great representative for the Jeep community. It was an honor to have known him. You will be missed, Sam.

I never met Sam in person but did have the honor to converse with him on this forum. He was an honorable man, a man that I had much respect for, a man I considered my friend. He will be missed. RIP Sam |

to many jeeps, parts, and accessories to list here, but apparently enough to keep me in trouble with my wife. |

This is heartbreaking.
I roomed with Sam at the last Color Tour he attended. I could fill 20 pages here with all the really neat things we discussed ranging from Career to Family to Jeeps. (and of course metal fuel bowls) Sam was a great man and has had a profound affect on my life. There is a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I wish Mary and the rest of his family peace and tranquility. He will be in my prayers.
