He was a member of the congregation Agudas Achim Synogogue in Columbia, Beckish Senior Center, Columbia Volunteer Fire Department, and 67-year member of the American Legion’s Post 19.
Sam was a proud Coast Guard Veteran during WWII on the USS Casper, later attending his military reunions all over the USA.

His wit and sense of humor definitely will be remembered.
