We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Sam. He was a great friend to my mother and father. He was there through the thickest and thinnest of times with our family. He was the greatest person to be around. There was never a dull moment when Sam was in the room. He will be missed dearly. Peace and love.

Sam will be greatly missed here at the Voluntary Action Center. He was such a help when ever MedVAC needed a driver to Chicago. He also would stop in on his way into Chicago either to work or go out on his sailboat to pick up some chocolate for him and his friends. He had such a bubbly personality and a joy to have known. I will miss him. Love Ya Sam I Am!

Dear Dubrick Family, Sam was a great role model and someone I'll always remember. I grew up in the St. Nicholas Parish and Sam was very active in the Church. Sam and my father, Bill Hilger were very close. Sam was a warm and friendly guy who always had an upbeat attitude. He left a lasting impression on my early childhood. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and may Sam inherit all the Blessings and happiness of Heaven. Sincerly, Tim Hilger & Family

Dear Dubrick Family, We were so sorry to hear of Sam's passing. My father, Peter and his late sister, Ann, always had wonderful memories of growing up with their cousins in Chicago before they had to move to California. I enjoyed meeting Sam and Mary and their family at the Manghera/Dubrick family reunion in Las Vegas in 1995. They were both very wonderful and friendly people. It was very nice to read all the good comments that people had to say about how good he lived his life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Your California Cousins, Peter and Virginia Manghera and family
