Yes,
I lost a Triumph racing mentor and we lost a long time and valuable competitor and friend.
I had a lot still to learn from Sam.
After some engine troubles at the NJ majors, he finished rebuilding my engine the day before his accident.
I'm sad that I didn't get to see him one more time.
Sam will be missed and thought of often.
