Anyone that knew Sam could attest to his love of food, trying new restaurants and reading the daily newspaper while enjoying breakfast at Billy Reeds. Sam was a strong and intelligent man that tried to instill every lesson he could to his family. He will be loved and missed by all that knew him and had the opportunity to talk with him
