Thank you to Dad and Jacquie for their loving support and prayers and Sam`s sisters for all their continued help and support.
Sam was an amazing husband, father and grandfather who was passionate about everything he did. He loved to socialize, and lived life to the fullest. Sam was always there to help everyone and would share his opinions and provide constructive criticism to help those he cared about succeed. He was the life of the party, full of laughter and loved his dogs Bobbie and Rosie. He was our leader and to many he was the boss.
Sam loved his job as General Manager of Budd’s Collision. He was considered to be an icon in the collision industry, renowned for his knowledge, experience and innovation.
Special Thanks to Darryl, Terry and Chris Budd, Brent Bere and J.R. Martino along with their wives, the staff at Budds Collision and all the Budds dealerships for their support and encouragement.
