Even though I don’t remember Uncle Sammy, I keep him and the rest of our family in thoughts and prayers. It’s comforting to remember that our loved ones become young and free again in the next world.
God bless and bring you peace.
One of my favorite uncles, affectionatly referred to as the ‘Dirty Bird’ will truly be missed.

Our family’s summer vacations were extra special because of Uncle Sammy. In addition to taking us on excursions around Rochester, I’ll always remember his singing, especially yodeling. Thank you for the wonderful memories, Uncle Sammy..
So very sorry to read about ‘my buddy’, Sam. He was one of my very favorite people at NYS Dept of Labor. A great guy!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all… Betsy

Uncle Sammy was my great-uncle, the brother of Mary, my grandmother. Though we didn’t get to spend much time with him, I felt as though I knew him well from all of the wonderful family stories I’ve heard throughout the years. He will be missed.
