Apart from his family, music was the most important part of Sams life. He was a veteran of the Second World War, where he served in the R.C.A.F. Band. He was a well-known musician in Winnipeg, and taught music until his retirement. His hobby was gardening, and he was especially proud of the tomatoes he grew in the backyard. He was an avid reader until he suffered a stroke. Sam had lived in Deer Lodge Centre for the past ten years, and the family would like to thank the staff of T5 for their kindness and patience.
