I am so very sorry to hear of Sam’s passing. He was a big part of my childhood years on Randolph Street. He was a great friend who always liked to play frisbee with me. He will forever have a special place in my heart. Thoughts and prayers to the Garritano family.
Patty,
I’m so sorry to hear of Sam’s passing. He was such a good friend to my husband John.
I’m saddened to hear that Sam has passed. Sam was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We worked together back in the ’90s and I was in a short lived band with his brother Anthony before that. We love the same style of music and I have fond memories of listening to the latest metal releases and discussing and giving our opinions. Anthony if you see this, please give me a call it’s been along time.
Gail, Anthony and Patricia
So very sorry to hear about the loss of Sam, Please know that you are in my prayers ,
Love,
Rita (Lodato) Welch
