April 24, 1934 – October 5, 2019
Sam was born in Hines Creek, Alberta on April 24, 1934. His family moved to Victoria when he was two years old. He attended Mount Newton School and finished high school at Oak Bay. He spent several years on the ocean working on various tug boats and finished his working years as a mechanic in Vernon, BC with D.C.T. Chambers. In his younger years he enjoyed skiing and spent some months travelling through Europe. After retirement he and his wife, Jo Ann, were able to travel and visit a number of countries over the next 15 years.
Sam is survived by his wife, Jo Ann, and two sons James in Lumby and Steven in Grindrod and a number of cousins in BC and Saskatchewan. Sam’s family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Polson Special in Vernon who have made Sam’s last years so very comfortable and who have been so kind and helpful to his family through (difficult times) those years. There will be no funeral at Sam’s request.
