Will never forget the night in October 2014 when Sam arrived at our high school reunion reception and turned up the evening. Sam came through the door dancing like a machine on duracell and danced all the way to the dance floor where he got things crunk. Amazed at how he could get so low to the floor, never missing a beat. A reunion will never be the same without Sam. RIP Sam; forever remembered.
