We are so sorry to learn about your loss. Sam so kindly helped my sister, Amy, helped my sister move to Pittsburgh and drove the moving van. My Dad so treasured his long friendship with him, as they shared their love of boating through Power Squadron. My Aunt Lee (Ransom-Walker) also went to school w Mr. Lore. My parents were both so glad you both were able to attend my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary party, that was a particularly special night for them, and they were so grateful you were able to attend. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
