I'm sorry that happened to samuel, he didnt deserve it. He was an amazing guy and his rememberable good deeds will not be forgotten. I have deep reverence for Samuel Gray. He will fly high and have the best time in heaven with God, May Samuel rest in peace.

Cheers to the amazing life my Uncle Sam lived. The last thing he said to us, on his death bed was, "I'm good. This right here, I'm good. I'd choose this over anything. There are homeless, lonely people, as sick as I am, with no one paying attention to them. This right here, I got everything I need. I'm good." I am FOREVER thankful for the life I have and the amazing people I have in my life. And I can only hope to live life the way he did. I'll miss your great energy, Uncle Sam. And I'll miss you greeting me with a new nickname every year. Rest Easy, Homie. 

Love always,
'MachineGunMouth'/'Old Lady'

I'm really glad I had a chance to meet and spend time with you during our rides in the mountain trails Sam.  You inspired me to look past age as a number and live a life beyond measure.

There is a new STAR in the sky to rest my eyes on now. I will miss your smile and laugh uncle Sam. Rest now for one day I will see you again. Love you always Maria

So sorry for your loss Jeanette. With your fathers passing, comes peace.

Uncle Sam was the man whose presence was larger than life. I've always thought of him as the "cool uncle". We shared so many laughs and comedic bantering over the years. He always made it a point to be there for my family and our significant milestones. I especially appreciate that he's always been there for my father, no matter what. They weren't just cousins, they were best friends. Words can't express how much he will be missed. Thanks for the memories! Rest in Peace and Power Uncle Sam. I love you....

Sleep in peace with the Angels, Sam. You had a big heart and I will always love and miss you. Meg Gray Andersen, Flensburg, Germany

RIP Uncle Sam.....you are truly missed and loved deeply by so many of us. You are such a caring loving and hilarious uncle. You gave me and my children so many happy and funny memories over the years  My prayers are with you on this new journey to your final resting place. My condolences to Auntie Carina, and thank her for taking care of our uncle Sam.

Always be my favorite uncle, Sammy you will surely be missed, may God be with you and the family, love you.

Uncle Sam was one of a kind.  He was the sweetest, craziest and most loving man other then my daddy to me, my siblings and our children.  Sammy was so memorable to my daughter Camielle that she named her crazy doggy after him,due to the morning after she work up after bringing him home, Sam the puppy was biting and licking her face, just like Sam did to her as a baby.  She came in and asked permission to use his name and when I called him to tell him what she did all he said to me was "he must be a hell of a handsome dog like me!"
I loved the fact that he always made it a point to call or come see me and my family when we went up to LA or Las Vegas for vacation.  We all got together in Las Vegas last July 2015 for dinner.  I am so happy that my bro Roy and I had the chance to speak to him for a few hours just talking and joking around until well after midnight.  I at least have that loving and wonderful memory of him as the last time I got to see and spend time with my beloved uncle.
The one time he came to visit me in Costa Rica he actually rode and finished the "Ruta de Conquistadores" from the Pacific to Caribbean Coast and considered the toughest mountain bike race in the world at the age of 56.  He was I believe the oldest rider that year and he managed to beat some of the younger riders to the finish. Jeanette and her family, Ian, my entire family and a slew of our friends here in Costa Rica through him a party at the end of the race on the beach at a bar.  We had signs made up saying "You did it Sammy Baby" (Bella's name for her Lolo), tons of food and drinks.  We had a blast and my poor Uncle during the festivities whispered in my ear "Dori I'd don't know any of these people but they are all so happy to see me".
I will truly miss Sammy Baby and am so sad that I can't make his services personally but I will always carry his smile and laugh in my heart and just want to say "I love you and miss you more then words can express Sammy and please tell all our family and friends up there with you on that cloud hello for me and that I will join all of you one day so that we can all laugh and joke around like we all did here on land".  XOXO

Sam and Cora went out of their way to make me feel welcome as a new neighbor.  Water exercise next Summer won't be the same - he will definitely be missed!

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Sam and Coras family.  It was our privilege to of known Sam.  He was an awesome person.  He will be greatly missed.

My heart goes out to Sam's family. He was a an active, wonderful man. He will be greatly missed. Please know you are in our prayers and thoughts.
