To the entire Harris family. We are so sad to hear of Sam’s passing. I have so many fond memories of spending time with the entire Harris family for 60 plus years. I will always remember the laughs and tears over the years spanning over Taylor Ave, Narragansett Ave and Stanton Ave, to mention a few. I’m sure he’s joining in a beer or two with Claire. Prayers and thought to all from Billy & Sharon Moura
