We are so sorry for your loss. Sam was such a proud family man. We enjoyed our experience at Kings Jewelry because of Sam. He would always stop to talk to his customers no matter where we were.
Rachel & family,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. I also have many great memories of his helpfulness at the mall, his funny personality, and of course our vacation to Cape Hatteras!
I will be praying for you all…
