Sam and my dad, Lyle Wilson, were friends and he would stop by to visit. As a young boy in the 50's, for whatever reason, I can remember him saying to my dad, "the cleaning business is the dirtiest business in the world". The line just stuck with me. ##imported-begin##Thomas Wilson##imported-end##

Uncle Sambo was so much more than an uncle to me. My time with him goes back to when he and Aunt Patsy were dating and one carried me and one the diaper bag.I could never express everything he did for me over these many years. But he was dearly loved and ##imported-begin##Linda Willis##imported-end##
