Sam was a very diverse and compassionate man that was the first to help anyone in need. He loved to help others with kind acts, encouraging words and freely shared knowledge that he thought would benefit folks. He meant many things to a lot of family members and friends. A friend, father, confidant, mentor, and a partner in crime to name a few. His charm and curiosity about the world propelled him to success in many areas of life. Success primarily being focused on forging and nurturing relationships with family and friends throughout the years. Forever an optimist he strove to make a positive difference in people’s lives and was always true to his word.

We are ever grateful for his love, kindness, time and heartfelt gifts through the years. He was a unique and singular individual with aspiring character, warmth and integrity. Our hearts fly alongside him, always. We will all see one another again!

We would like to express our immense gratitude to our Mother, Olga A. Galindo for being the primary caregiver to our Father. She has selflessly cared for our family through the years and was the driving force to ensure that our Father was able to live his days in the same house he designed and we grew up in. Over the last year and especially over the last 6 months, as his health declined, we worked closely together as a team to ensure he enjoyed his last days with dignity and love.
