"Again"???????<br>
<br>
I had lip surgery a number of years ago. I asked if I could play the
trumpet afterward, and the surgeon said he didn't see any reason why
not. I said that's great, because I can't play now... (rim shot
please)<br>

face="Arial" size="3">It is with great sorrow I report to you a dear
and old friend since I was 15 years old has passed away. It is my
understanding that Sam passed away in Tennessee with his older half
brother at his side September 8th 2011 at a local hospice at age 62. I
have been trying to track Sam down for the last year and stumbled upon
his younger brothers web site. Ronnie gave me his phone number and I
tried a few times leaving messages for Sam and he never returned the
calls, he was very sick. Ronnie mentioned that Sam had had a VERY rough
time the last three years. It seems he got married then divorced, his
house went into foreclosure and had complete kidney failure. I surmise
knowing Sam (Rai as the ones very close to him and I knew him) his
health was the issue that caused this series of unfortunate events. It
is also my understanding he was awaiting a kidney transplant and did
not make it in time. Ronnie also mentioned his remains were cremated.</font></div>

face="Arial" size="3">When I was about 15 years old I had been
involved in r/c for about 2 years and was having a tough time with
success in the hobby with no locale guidance. Sam and his family moved
in across the street from me in Pembroke Pines Florida from Pensacola
Florida when I was about 15 years old (1968). Sam was going to FSU and
was about 19 years old. He of course was flying R/C also with some
success using tube radio systems. Obviously we hit it off as friends
rite away. His dad (Herschel) was the new Chief Controller at North
Perry Airport in the heyday of student flight training which I was also
doing. My dad was also a pilot so we all had a lot in common.</font></div>

face="Arial" size="3">In my heart I feel that Sam deserved an ending
so much better than this. He has gone through many years of personal
suffering that many of his friends in the R/C world never knew. I have
always thought of him almost every day of my life and what kind of good
kind person he was and the deep friendship bond we had when we were
youngsters in a cow pasture flying models.</font></div>
