Rochester – Passed away peacefully on September 24, 2020 at age 55. Sam is predeceased by grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is survived by parents, Giovanni and Candida (Borrelli), sister, Carmela (Steve) Lamy, brother, George, nieces Candice (Patrick) O’Lena, Bianca (Andrew) Satta, nephews, Michael, Tucker, Christian (Alexandra), Sean, and Austin, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins in Pignataro Maggiore, Italy.
Sam loved cars, good food, and enjoying time with family and childhood friends from the St. Anthony of Padua neighborhood. He was called by our Lord at a very young age and will be missed dearly. His innocent smile warmed our hearts and his generosity will not be forgotten.

Rest in Peace, Sam. Love and God bless you for all time and in all timelessness.
My sincerest condolences. Based on our obituaries we may well have shared great grandparents (Salvatore and Anna?) in Pignataro. Especially based on St. Anthony of Padua church which backs to Costar Street. His large U.S family and knowledge of his relations in Pignataro are enviable. I’m sure he will be greatly missed. My sympathies go out to all of you.
My family and I knew Sam for years from Church originally at Abundant Life, and then at Greece Assembly. Sam was always so loving, friendly and caring to our family. We unfortunately lost touch with him through the years and just learned of his passing. Our hearts go out to him and his family. We believe he is now at Peace in Heaven with our Lord. God Bless Sam and his Family. -Miesch and Homan Family
