RIP Sam, The Stratford Club adjunct members and especially all of our junior members express our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of Sam who will be forever remembered in our thoughts annually as our juniors compete for the Sam Keller Junior Trophy. A mighty man has been lost. With much love and respect we bit you farewell Sam.
To Sam's Family I was lucky enough to know Sam twice in my life, once as a teenager (Hi Doug) and the other as an adult. Sam was always ready with smile, a (ahem) joke and a quick swig of whatever he was carrying that night. There will always be a place in my heart for Sam. So farewell, so long, as it's not so much a goodbye but see you later. Regards Karen Close
RIP Sam To Sam's family, our deepest condolences, he will be deeply missed by us all. Xox
