We will miss seeing your smiling face and witty nature, but we have fond memories. Thank you Sam for being our contractor for our condo reno, you are an example of integrity and knowledge for the building industry. You completed our reno like it was your own, and you have the best trades people to work with in Medicine Hat. We are grateful for both you and Gail. May you rest in peace Sam, and know you left a legacy of love that will carry us through until we meet again.
Love from Donna and Sue
I contacted Sam as part of the church newsletter twice. Despite being ill at the time, he managed to make me laugh. Always busy even when ill I was impressed with his quick wit and despite his illness, his positive outlook on life. I wlll miss speaking with him.
We met Sam and Gail last year, as Sam was our contractor for our renovations. Jim and I had just moved in together and were looking to make the little 1950’s bungalow into our shared space. By word of mouth, Sam was recommended to us. At the time, we had no idea that we weren’t getting just a contractor but a man who, in a few days, we thought of as a friend in our home. Not only did Sam provide awesome trades people and impeccable work but also laughter, warmth and joy. We enjoyed every moment of business and pleasure with this delightful man. Sam was an example of how we should all live:showing up with positivity, integrity, laughter, joy, warmth and love in whatever we do in life. Thank you, Sam and Gail, for gracing our lives. Sam’s legacy is not in the Sheetrock and hardwood renos of our (now) beautiful home but is held in the space that continues to glow for us with his gracious nature.
