He spent summers in Apollo, PA working on the family farm, where he met his future wife. They made their home in Farmingdale, New York where they raised three children: Mark, Kevin, and Rosemary.
Sam’s career took several turns in either working for or owning several businesses, but all with a strong sales component, which he loved. Prior to retiring, he spent many decades specializing in heavy equipment. The saying “if you love what you do, you will never have to work a day!” suits him very well.
