Sam worked in social work for the majority of his career, while actively supporting various churches’ pastoral and worship ministries. Among other things, he was a school bus driver in his retirement years.

elevated gsZHb Sam’s passion’s included playing and listening to classical guitar, landscaping projects, cooking, reading, and his most recent pursuit of learning the Hebrew language. Sam was truly a kid at heart, shown by his sense of humour and enthusiasm to play for hours with his beloved grandson.

elevated gsZHb Most of all, Sam lived a life with Jesus at the center and his most important words of wisdom were to stay close to the Lord and everything will fall into place.
