Sam a good man
I first meet Sam when I was 4 years old . Him and my mom had date before and had had a daughter my older sister Cynthia.
Sam has taught my everything I know about life he was hard working ,
truthful , dedicated , serious , but at the same time patient
Sam has raised me from four years old until now 39 years old. So when I read the obituary and I see where it says (three children he raised as his own) I get angry.
We where his children and no less
He was a great dad.
History
At 4 years old we moved to Maryland to do migrant seasonal work which was picking fruits and vegetables every four to six months we would move to a different state
New York 6 month
Florida 6 month
Ohio 4 months
Pennisavanya 4 months
South Carolina 4 months
North Carolina 6 months
Denver Colorado 6 months
Michigan 4 months
Illinois
Georgia
Delaware
New Jersey
Before I was 19, I had lived in 26 states year after year we where in a different state.
Sam was the driver from state to state year after year, we had a blue 1965 Chevy van which sam fixed and from time to time he would get me to either hold the parts or pass the tools Sam was a good man and great father. We would all work together in the tomato fields and orange and grape fruit groves, peach fields , bean fields , watermillon, cucumber , potato fields, pecan , a family of field workers share cropper and migrant workers, this was hard work year after year. Him and my mom always worked together to take care of us . Doctors appointments , first days of school, sick days, Christmas , and Easter .
That's the Sam I know my Dad Sam

Sam, the man I knew as Dad...
Sam, my Dad, reared me since I was 4 years old until his untimely demise. He and my mom dated years before and were blessed to have my older sister Cynthia together. I knew my Dad to be a hard working family man who was patient, dedicated, honest and loving. He showed me the "true" example of what a man is to be. The dedication and devotion he expelled in making sure we were all taken care of all our lives should not go unmentioned. We moved around with his occupation as a migrant worker. He never once neglected to provide for us, yet showed us the meaning of hard work and preserverance in the most perilous times. Before the age of 19, we moved to 26 states working and bonding as a family. Sam, my Dad, drove a 1965 blue Chevy van from state to state working. I can remember him teaching me mechanics and showing me how to fix what he was fixing, thus, HOW TO BE A PROVIDER AND A MAN. He always worked with my mom to take care of the family, he WAS DAD! It disturbed me when read the obituary, "three children he raised as his own", There was no separation in the love, protection and dedication he provided to any of us. He gave me a life that no DNA could. He gave me substance, stability, security, support and endless love. I will honor his legacy by continuing the values he taught me in my life and paying it forward to those whom I am blessed to impart in. Sam was my Dad in every aspect of the word. Dad will forever be my hero. Dad, I will miss you....I love and appreciate you...Rest now in the arms of the almighty, you fought a good fight. Thank you Dad, I am eternally grateful for you being you! Love, Boris
