Denise, words cannot express my sorrow. Your dad and mom were such a intense influence on me. Not many days pass that I don't have a good tale to share about your Mom, Dad or Dennis during my adolescent years. My family knows each of yours through my joyful memories. May hopes that time will heal your sorrow.

Sorry to hear of Sam's death. I worked with Sam in the Clakrsburg IRS office for many years and thought a lot of him. Sorry we could not make it to the funeral as Molly is on dialysis and not able to travel and I can't leave her alone.

I am sorry to hear about Sam's passing. You don't know me, but I was a drummer at Salem High School, and Sam was our director. I remember the first day he met with the band, he warned us that he was a perfectionest. And he was, because the next year we got superior ratings at the Clarksburg band festival the first time ever that I know. He made us feel good about ourselves and made us into a fine band. We all thank him for that. Also, he used to bring for lunch, egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, mayonaise, and a little hot sauce and he would occasionally share them. They were so good. Every time I make myself one of those sandwiches I think of Sam. I am saddened for our loss, but appreciate the way he touched our lives. I will not forget him.
God's Peace,
Bill Osbourn

Sam's music was so good and I enjoyed him so much whenever I could hear him (in Parkersburg). The angels will have a new wonderful voice and talent in the heavenly choir now.
My love and condolences to Denise the family.
