Sam was an all around nice guy, with a smile always on his face. He worked at Goodrich tires in Bensalem. My children and his children were in school together. You could not ask for a nicer
guy. I recently (2010) met one of his sons at a local restaurant. Picked him out because of his face and smile just like Dad's. Everyone should of had a friend like Sam.
sam and i played a lot of baseball together from little league at hilltop to semi-pro he will always be rembered as a good frend and teamate bob carsillo
I played baseball at Hilltop with Sam [and Bob Carsilo]. Sam always seemed to be happy: Smittie is right about that smile. I knew his brothers Herman and Jimmy and they were positive too. I'm pretty sure Sam was a lefty pitcher -- didn't throw hard, but had some stuff. Once he had some crabs and beer before a game! He threw up behind 2nd base and went back to the mound. When I was about 10-15, I spent a lot of summer at High Way Pool. It was segregated even though Sam and some other friends lived in the blocks just north of it. I remember Sam got in one day -- seemed like everything went OK and he had friends. Glad that part of the 60's is over with now.
back in the day, while at BHS, sam was a friend. i left there in jun 61 to join the military. now its 48 years later, here i sit looking up my high school friends. i do hope that sam had a great and good life.
