So sorry for your loss. Sam was always one of my very favorite teachers - he was an inspiration to all of us, a very fine man. He will be greatly missed.

Mom and dad would have wanted me to send their sympathies for your lose. Sam was a good man and friend to the people in the North Salem area.

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

Sam was our neighbor. He owned the fields surrounding our house, and would stop by from time to time to help with our garden or tell us "newcomers" when our corn was ready. I would stop by his place to let our grandson pet the cows. Jackson made Sam's day one time when Jackson brought him cookies that he had made. Jackson got all of us started calling him "Farmer Sam." Godspeed Sam, friend and neighbor!

So sorry to hear of Sam's passing.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

I just want to tell all of Sam's family how much he meant to me. I was blessed with the opportunity to meet him through DRR and I'm so thankful for that. I would usually get a visit from Sam while I was cleaning up the dining room each night and I enjoyed listening to him playing the piano and most of all, singing. What a sweet, gentle, kind soul. Sam is someone I will never forget, what a wonderful man.

One of my favorite teachers at Lizton High School. Rest in peace Mr. Mount.
