You will be missed in the neighborhood patrolling the area before you pull into your yard. You were a nice, kind man and neighbor for the seventeen years I have been living in Eastwood Circle. May you rest in peace now and watch over your family from the heavenly skies above. Your neighbor ~ Yarnell (Hey Neighbor) as you would say to me when you see me in the yard.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Tracy and the entire Plush family. Sam was a kind and jovial man who approached his work with expertise. For well over two decades, there wasn't a plumbing issue that he couldn't resolve for us. We will miss our dear friend. We pray that God will grant the family strength, peace, and solace through this difficult time.

I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of my dear friend and longtime plumber. Just last week, when he stopped by, we shared our usual banter and laughter—moments I never imagined would be among our last. He was someone you could always count on, responding to our plumbing emergencies no matter the hour, without hesitation or complaint. His dedication, kindness, and one-of-a-kind sense of humor left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. I am truly saddened by his passing and will miss him more than words can express.

Angela Terry

We extend our heartfelt condolences on the loss of someone so deeply cherished. Sam was truly remarkable—there was nothing Sam couldn't do. Always dependable and caring, Sam embodied the spirit of service and kindness that touched everyone.
