I adored Sam, I cut that beautiful head of hair for several years and as you know hairdressers hear it all. With Sam it was those great and corny jokes, loved them and what a wonderful family he has. He was also so proud of his grandkids I would hear all about them. Every year he would bring a bottle in a bag and tell
me it was some good olive oil, of course it was a bottle of wine. When Sam's health turned I missed him greatly so I can only imagine how you must miss your father and grandfather. My thought are with you.
