Met Sam when he operated Wpg. Lock and Key on Notre Dame, next to Archer & Cerritti, a heating company that was a customer of mine when I worked at Wholesale Heating. Later had the pleasure of seeing him at Fort Garry Curling Club. He was a fine gentle man, always great to associate with. Never an unkind word of anyone. A great booster of the Fort. Always lending a hand. - Posted by: John De Jong (friend) on: Apr 07, 2013
