Predeceased by his parents, Samuel and Ada; siblings David, Robert, Allen, Alice, and John.

Left to mourn his passing: his wife of 69 years, Doreen; sons, Samuel (Joyce), Michael (Mandy), Stephen (Karen); daughter, Kathryn (Adam); nine grandchildren, Samuel Douglas (Camielle), Craig (Alyson), Kimberly (Graham), Janelle (Brian), Scott, Jessica (Brock), Kyle (Gabi), Amanda, and Savannah (Takuma). Sam was also blessed with six great-grandchildren: Emily, Kyla, Madison, William, Greyson, and Harmony. Sam is survived by his sisters: Margaret, Grace (Wayne), and Marcia (Frank).

Sam joined the Royal Canadian Navy at the age of 17 years, serving 30 years, from 1951 to 1981, with postings in Halifax, Esquimalt, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Ottawa. He was part of the Canadian Contingent attending the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. He deployed to Southeast Asia on the HMCS Kootnay for the end of the Vietnam War and was attached to the Canadian Airborne Regiment on Cyprus (CANCOM UNFICYP) during the Turkish invasion of 1974.

Sam was loving, polite, stubborn, and family-oriented. He lived by example and put his family’s needs first. He was a major influence in the lives of his children and grandchildren, spending time with them, mentoring them, attending their events, and taking them with him on his daily activities. He had a subtle, teasing sense of humour. His naval service left him with an incredible ability to pack the most items into the smallest space. He was deeply in love with his wife and frequently had a lovestruck look when he looked at her.

A remembrance service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, September 15th, 2023, at Glenwood Funeral Home, (52356 Range Road 232, Sherwood Park, AB).
Viewing to be held at 1:00 p.m.
