Sam was an awesome guy to know in the Auroa Highland Pipe Band. He was always free with piping advice, a bit of 'cheek' and never talked down to us 'kids'. Lots of humour and always seemed happy; this shows up in the grandies. (I'm loving watching them today - I think you can tell the strength of love in your family by the level of teasing you all do). To Heather, the kids, and the grandkids - I am so sorry for your loss. Your wonderful memories will keep him with you. Take care and keep each other close.
