Well Uncs, you were always full of surprises but this one takes the cake. Going to miss your cheeky comments. Thank you for all you have done for the entire whanau. Will never forget you.

There's nothing that I wouldn't do to share just one more song, You can strum the tune for us You know I'll sing along, There's nothing that I wouldn't do To share just one more laugh, Like when we were to fat for the kayak And had an impromptu bath There's nothing that I wouldn't do To share a bottle of port, But we don't sip it's skull for skull It turns drinking into sport, There's nothing that I wouldn't do To go for one more fish, One day I'll catch as many as you You just laugh and say YOU WISH!! there's nothing that I wouldn't do To share just one more day But we don't have to do all that stuff We just hang out okay There's nothing that I wouldn't do Just to pay you something forward For your selflessness and your everything Just knowing you is a reward But there's nothing that I could've done This wasn't part of the plan Gonna miss you till we meet again My brother Sam the man XX But there's something that I'll always have And they are only mine Memory's of a friendship shared Will stand the test of time,

Will miss the morning chats while getting the morning coffee. Thanks for the sideline banter at Aysha’s games - will always keep an eye on her for you. She did you proud today. Sleep easy my friend and thank you.

Sam was a lovely patient of ours. Always so cheerful, chatty and always had a good laugh with him. Rest in piece sam!! Condolences to the family 🤍

What a wonderful human to have met in my teenage years. Those eyes were as beautiful as your soul & smile. I look forward to meeting you again one day for more laughs, words of wisdom and kinship. I promise to remind your Moko often that you live on in them. Rest easy mate ❤️

Moe mai ra Sam! I treasure our korero at the Rodney College Basketball final this year Sam. Missed most of the game but the memories of growing up in Wellsford in the 1980s was priceless! Condolences from our whanau to yours Te Haara Whanau

Brother,you laid the stepping stones for me to get where I am today.thank you for everything. I will never forget. These are sad times but there are many many MANY happy memories. Rest in all the love my bro.

Uncle Sam. He was one of the bests uncles. Dare I say favourite uncle. When I think back to my childhood, summer was always my favourite time of year and that was because of Uncle Sam. Always there unlocking core memories with our family.. I love the gleam in your eyes that always twinkled with love for everyone. I love your cheeky chuckle. I love the way you love ALL my family especially my cousins. But mostly just love you. Moe mai ra uncle. Nui te aroha mo ake tonu.

Rest in love Sam. You are going to be so strongly missed. You were the most amazing Father to all your beautiful children. I am going to miss seeing your smile, your big hugs and of course your loud snoring when I come to stay. You are the most amazing, loving and caring person I have ever met and I still cannot believe it. My condolences go out to all Whanau. Sending my love to you all. Until we meet again 🩷 Arohanui
