    Horrible news..... Sam was the reason I joined SBR. I had met Sam through a mutual friend and he told me about SBR over a few drinks, I joined a couple days later. A great guy, always had a smile on his face, glad I met him and got to hang out with him a few times....... he will be missed.

    What horrible news!! Rest in peace Sam. I remember my only year as a pro and ordering pizzas every week. I'd get a call from Sam asking if I got my pizza yet. Genuinely one of the nicest guys on this board. Prayers go out to his family.

    Sammy was beloved by the whole community.

    He was very cordial and professional every time we had interaction.

    I was lucky enough to meet him back in 2015. The guy really busted his ass for SBR and all of us posters.

    We will miss you.

    RIP Sammy

    Very sad to hear about Sam.

    SBR brothers and everyone who came in contact with Sam
    mourn the loss of a treasure.

    May God carry his precious family and loved ones in their sadness and loss.

    Rest in peace Sam.

    Terrible news, RIP Sam.

    I sent some points to the OP. Meaning to donate. If it' impossible please return.

    It is with a heavy heart that we deliver the terrible news that Sam9ball has passed away. Sam was as classy as they come; kind, gentle, funny, a dedicated husband and family man, and a friend that would go out of his way to help anybody in need.

    We will share details of any fundraiser setup by Sam's family, along with any other information the family wishes to be made public. For SBR members who would like to contribute, we have enabled a special item in the SBR Store where point donations will go directly to Sam's wife, Carol. Please send my account a PM with any questions on this and use this thread to pay your respects to Sam.

    Rest in peace, Sam. We will miss you partner.

    I know the SBR family can bring in $10K here.

    Let’s keep it going!

    I’ll donate an additional $200 if it covers my upcoming membership in June.

    One of the OG's here at SBR.....Always loved his handle "Sam9Ball", just screams wise guy, hustler type. He never got involved in the back and forth, keyboard warrior drama here. Strictly business and professional all the while approachable at any time for poster needs. Guy was Aces...


    Had no intentions of renewing my PRO status but this is a no brainer.

    Rest easy Sammy

    Getting drunk tonight for Sammy. Class Act. An SBR staple and on the Mt Rushmore of members imo.

    RIP sir. May all your bet slips be in the black.
