To the entire Sabella family we offer our heart felt sympathy. A strong family like yours is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you peace in the days to come, Sincerely, Glenn and Diane Weintraub and family

Tia Dulce, Sammy, Sabrina, and Stevie:
I am praying for you and sorry we couldn't be there to console you during this hard trial in your lives. Your father's memory will live through my heart as well as through those he influenced. Know that your father was one of my very favorite uncles and was so kind whenever we visited.
As young as I was, I remember being the flower girl at your wedding and I pinned dollars on Uncle Sam’s stylish suit!
Visiting your family during special times in the past years is something that I will cherish forever in my heart and feeling that kind of happiness is something I will always be inspired by.
Know that your father’s love, happiness, and personality are something that lives in each of you.

Love your cousin/niece,

Dulce,Sammy,Sabi and Stevie,
The girls and I are so sorry we couldn't be there for you right now. You are with us every moment and we are praying for you with all our hearts that the Lord and family will pull you through this hard time. Although we are far away you all always remain close in our lives. Sam, your dad will surely be missed but he will live on through all of you and through the good memories everyone has of his wonderful personality and kindness.

Love, Tia Chabelita

Dulce, Sam, Sabrina and Steven, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It was always so nice to see Sam at school functions, he always was friendly and had a kind word to say.

The Guzzi Family

I am so sorry to hear of Sammy's death. Aunt Carole, I am sending you a hug long distance. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Bridget

Sam and I were the best of friends during childhood, spending countless hours together just hanging out and doing what good friends do. The stories are too numerous to list. Sam's best attributes were his tremendous zeal and energy. Sometimes my doorbell would ring at 8:00 am and I knew it was Sam, raring to go, because no one else would ever show up that early.

Not a minute went by when Sam wasn't laughing or cracking a joke. But at the same time, there was no more sincere person than Sam. The second he sensed trouble, he was right by your side, without fail, and when he made a promise, you could take it to the bank.

Sam influenced my life in so many ways. He had great passions. Without him, Clint Eastwood would be just another actor, AC/DC would be just another band, and most of the world's comic books would still be sitting on the store shelves. Without Sam, none of those Eastwood westerns would be on my shelf today.

One line of Sam's that always stuck with me was his response when I asked him what he was going to wear to his graduation. He replied, "The suit, the whole suit, and nothing but the suit." That was vintage Sam. How ironic that he went on to sell suits for a living!

My memories of Sam will remain alive mostly through the famous (or infamous) tapes we made as teenagers. We used our creative minds to produce a collection of comedy tapes that left us and other friends crying with laughter every time we listened to them. We were way ahead of our time, as the Jerky Boys later went on to make money doing the same type of things. I think Sam and I might have missed our callings.

The one thing I regret is losing touch with Sam as we moved on with our lives, and not getting to know his wife and kids. After not having contact with him for many years, I finally called and talked to him a few times earlier this year. I desparately wanted to get together with him for a hello and a few hours of reminiscing, be we never were able to cross paths. Unbeknownst to him, in June, I had prepared him a gift. It was our tapes that I had transferred to CD and giftwrapped. I so much looked forward to handing him that gift. It still sits wrapped, on my desk, as I type this, and I am saddened when I look at it. But when I play the CDs, Sam will remain close at heart, and if he hears them too, maybe he'll let out a smile of his own. Sam, you were a great friend that will never be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Sabella family in this time of great sorrow.

My condolences to the Sabella family.

Dulce,Samuel,Sabrina and Steven I'm deeply sorry for the loss of Sam may all your happy memories comfort you at this time.

I am a childhood friend of Sam's and grew up less than a block away. Sam and I were virtually attached at the hip for many years growing up, attending grade school and high school together.

I am saddened by the news of Sam's passing and would like to extend my condolences to Sam's entire family for their loss.

Sam was one of the very genuine people I have ever known and came from a wonderful family. I am thankful to have called him a friend.

My prayers (and the prayers of the entire Green family) are with him and his family.

God bless.

Dearest Dulce, Piquin, Sabi & Steven,

My deepest condolences to each and one of you. I am sadden and my heart aches for your great loss.

Sam, I still remember when you were dating Dulce and you would always show up to the Gonzalez's parties with your suit and tie. Always clean cut and proper. I vividly remember going to your wedding, like if it was yesterday. And, now you have departed this earth, to soon, just like my brothers. You'll be missed by many.

Ever since I remember Sammy, he was such a sweet and kind person. He always made an effort to speak to me at all the parties at my sister (Minda's house). MInda's parties without your famous ravioli's will never be the same again. When I hear the name John Travolta or see a white suit, I'll always think of "Sammy".

Dulce, I know there is no words I can say to fill the void of your "Dear Sammy". May the lord comfort you and give you the strength to go on.

Piquin, Sabi and Steven, I could only hope that you find some comfort in all the memories you shared with your father. He'll always be with you and remember, one day we'll be together again.

I am sure that Beto and Danny welcomed you with open arms. I know it's not a good bye but until later my friend.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
