You will be so missed...Your smile, your laugh, your knowledge, and your friendship. God doesn't make many like you, Sam...but know that Wendy has all of your great qualities! You did well, my friend, she is an inspiration! I will remember all the great times, growing up and growing older. From snowmobiling, playing guitars, singing, parties, and helping with the kids in Civil Air Patrol to mention a few of the things we did together. You were always there, and weI will always remember you. Sally and Mike

Sam, I am sorry that you are gone before we ever got the chance to meet in person. I enjoyed our conversations regarding our shared history of the Krieger Family of Ledgedale. The knowledge and information that we exchanged I will cherish. In true fashion I will keep searching for more of the family history. God bless you and condolences to your family. RIP Sam. Your distant relative down the line. Benjamin Timm

Therr's one man who I've looked up to for the past 44 years. He may not've struck most as attention grabbing. But once he did grab it, it didn't take long to realize what a beautiful person he was. Thank you for taking the time to make sure I was always safe. Thank you for showing me how to find the love of God in the peaceful sounds of the forest. Thank you for making sure I never felt alone, scared, or weak. You shaped me into the person I am and I'm so proud to be your daughter. I love you. I miss you. I'm going to hug you so hard as soon as I see you again. Love Wendy

So saddened to hear of Sam's passing. A nicer guy you will never meet. He got us started with bees and was always there to help, guide and encourage us. He will be very missed. Rest In Peace Sam, you earned it.

Words cannot express how saddened we were to hear of cousin Sam's passing. Gary is truly honored to have been given Sam's beloved ice cream maker. This photo was taken on December 28, 2019, when we picked up the machine. The stipulation being that Gary has to make ice cream for the Schweinsburg/Jaggers family reunions! RIP Sam~ you truly will be missed. Our condolences to Luanne, Wendy, Nancy and Fred and the rest of his family

Sam was always willing to share his knowledge of local history and expertise on all things mechanical. Generous with his time and his friendship, he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I met Sam at an event where he and Luanne were making ice cream. Such an easy-going person, generous, and so willing to share his knowledgeable about tools, machinery, farming. May he rest in peace.
