To Gloria and family,
My condolences to the family. Whenever I would see the two of you Sam always greeted me with a warm smile. May his memory be a blessing and a comfort.
Gloria, I am so sorry for your loss! May all your memories, of and with your beloved Sam, bring you some peace at this sad time. B’Shalom.
Although I have lived in California since 1970, I still have fond memories of my early life in Providence.
If I am correct, Gloria, you were the cute red-haired girl, up the street, on Seventh Steet.
I also remember using Sam for our TV repair.
Also, Harriet was a Secretary in my Father’s office.
I am now 88 and living with my wife of 63 years.
I am sorry for your loss, but happy that you had such a long life with Sam.
WHILE OUR MEETINGS WERE INFREQUENT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, WHEN SAM AND I DID MEET IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE. A REAL FINE MAN. I SHARE YOUR SENSE OF LOSS.
Gloria, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I remember Sam very positively and with a sad smile. The two of you were always so pleasant and friendly when our paths crossed over many years. I hope you can find some comfort in wonderful memories.
Warmly,
Joan
Dear Gloria and family,
I have fond memories of Sam and my mom’s Weight Watchers colleagues at summer parties. Also the many years when my parents would say they had a great time going to dinner and a show (or the casino) with Sam & Gloria.
So sorry for your loss, Cindy
Gloria,
We are so sorry for your loss. Sam was a great guy and a great friend to my father. My dad always spoke so highly of him and loved both of you. He especially loved going out for dinner with you both.
Our deepest condolences
