Truer words are rarely spoken. They don't make them like Sam anymore. He gave me my very first Jig making supplies nearly a decade ago. Literally just handed me a box of stuff and said, "here". I haven't made any in a while and bought different things, but I still have that box sitting under my work table at home three moves later. Going to miss Sam a lot.

Re: Sad day for all that know "the sinker man"
 
Wow, I had a dream about Sam last night dropping off a huge box of jigs he made...Told me there was no charge and to just enjoy them. I didn't remember that till just now when I read this post. :(

He was a good guy who loved to shoot the shit. Very sad news.

Sad news indeed. My condolences to Sam's family and everyone that knew him. Sam came by the house many times with sinkers. He used to laugh at me, asking what was I going to do with them.

Great guy.

We will miss him.

Re: Sad day for all that know "the sinker man"
 
I just left Sam's house. Stopped and offered my condolences and the condolences of our fishing community. Patty his wife, was happy to hear from us. She stated that Sam passed peacefully at his home, which is what he wanted. The services will be private. His ashes will be brought to Stokes State Forest, where he enjoyed hunting in years past.
His wish was for any donations to be made to your local A.S.P.C.A. in his name, for his love of animals.
I will surely miss him, and I know he left a mark on countless members of the NJFishing.com community.
RIP Sam. You will forever be remembered.

There are only a few people who i've had the pleasure to meet during my life, who I would say are just incredibly special because of their kindness. Thank you for showing us how it's done and setting the bar high Sam!
