Sorry to hear of Sam's passing he was a great guy.
I always enjoyed a bantering conversation with Sam. He had such a sense of humour. I could see in the past year his health was not the best but onward he would press to accomplish what he had set out to do. He had great will power. I am sorry to read this evening of his passing. I wish you, his family, all the best at this time of loss. Anne and Paul Burnham

Sam was a very big prescence in Cobourg and will be missed greatly by many.
so sad to hear of Sam's passing he was a great guy and gentle soul.RIP Sam4524262
I am so very sorry for your loss. He worked many years with dad on the Cobourg Police force and they were great friends over the years. To lose them both only a couple months apart is so hard. Glad they have each other until we see them again. Sam was not only a family friend he was of great support to me as both a realtor and a friend. He will be missed by so many. His name comes up in conversations occasionally when people reminisce about their misspent youth saying he’d drive them home and drop them a few doors down loaded drunk and say next time I’ll take you to the door personally. Such an awesome man. My prayers are with you. Kathy K
