May the Good Lord above make a special place in Heaven for you Sammy!
A wonderful man and citizen of Crestview Florida. He was always around and attended most of the city hall meetings. He was a good man and always greeted you with a smile. He will be greatly missed by current and passed city officials and citizens. May his family be blessed in this time of need.
Rest in Peace Sammy.
