R.I.P to a important member of SBR

**Booya711** · 04-13-21, 02:11 PM

Wow...one of the nicest guys you would have ever met

**SBR Lou** · 04-13-21, 02:16 PM

I'm gutted. So many memories and laughs. Countless lunches back in the day when we were in your neck of the woods. And that time we had to hightail it around all of the Dominican Republic looking for Pesos to pay customs. Rest in peace, pal.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 04-13-21, 02:21 PM

Very sad to hear this...RIP Sammy9ball!!

I had a feeling he was sick when the store orders were backed up and someone at SBR made a post about it a couple months ago...

**sunshine11** · 04-13-21, 02:22 PM

Didn't know him. RIP. He wasn't that old was he? What happened?

**BestPlay2day** · 04-13-21, 02:27 PM

I was saddened to hear the news about Sam today, he was such a great guy.
I was Honored to have met him and his lovely wife Carol at the last bash in Vegas and spent some time with him talking mostly shop
but also personal Stuff.
Like somebody already Mentioned, He liked to get to know people, to know you, one on one.

Sam will be deeply missed by all.
My heartfelt sympathy go out to Carol & Family

R.I.P Sam

**hawkwind** · 04-13-21, 04:20 PM

Rest in Peace Sam & Condolences to Carol & the Family. Was always greeted kindly at the Bashes THX SAM

I remember that story..

Sam thought it was crazy when they wanted to attach a tax to each piece of swag...

**texhooper** · 04-13-21, 04:45 PM

Just like everyone else is saying, only had a few interactions with the guy through here and you could just tell this was a genuine, salt of the earth kinda dude. This is terrible. RIP Sam

**pavyracer** · 04-13-21, 04:48 PM

Very sad news. I met Sam at the Bash and he was a very fun guy to be around to and I'm deeply saddened for his loss.

For those who may not know when the Betpoints program started you could place an order at the store for pizza and 5 minutes after Sam would call you to make sure your pie is as your ordered it and tell you it is on its way (that was before they changed it so you can order pizza gift cards). He was the nicest person to talk to on the phone and the orders were never messed up or arrive late. And he had to do this job for multiple posters every day at odd times during the day.

Please let us know how we can help him and his family in this difficult time.

R.I.P Sam.

**edawg** · 04-13-21, 04:49 PM

God bless

**darkghost** · 04-13-21, 04:53 PM

RIP Sam. Just by the short interactions I had with you, I knew you were a super nice and laid back guy. Condolences to his family.

**koz-man** · 04-13-21, 04:54 PM

RIP Sam

**Vesuvius** · 04-13-21, 04:57 PM

A true professional, RIP Sam.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 04-13-21, 05:01 PM

Damn, I was hoping I would open this thread to a joke. This is very sad indeed. Sam was always respectful. He'd take the time to listen. I pray for his wife, family and close friends. He will be missed.

**hhsilver** · 04-13-21, 05:03 PM

So sorry to learn of the loss of this good man. RIP, Sam.

**franklee168** · 04-13-21, 05:27 PM

Sam, you were a real gentleman. RIP.
