Mr. Samuel "Sammie" Green

Sam was truly a special person. I would see him often at the hospital, and there was not a single time I entered his room that he didn't flash a smile on entrance, and have me laughing throughout our time together. Even though I met Sam as a patient, our friendship was quick to surpass the boundaries of the hospital. He gifted numerous personalized works of art to both me and my wife, sometimes as thanks for caring for and seeing him in the hospital, but also sometimes just because he was thinking of us. He took the time to deliver drawings to us at our home. He had a uniquely creative side. He and I once laughed for nearly an hour in his room watching his Facebook karate videos that he had made without breaking character for over 20 minutes at a time. I still rewatch these videos on my own and laugh. Sam and I would text regularly, he made it very easy to be comfortable with him, and I could tell he had the same effect on others around him as well. Sam had a good heart, and the memories that Laura and I have of him will always be glowing with fondness. RIP Sammy.

My brother was the strongest man, I know he fought a good fight until God took him home, I was there, it hurt me so bad, but to know that he's not in no more pain, no more sorrow is a blessing as well, I will always love you, your little sister Tasha.

My condolences to Mandy and family. I met Sammie and Mandy over 7 yrs ago. I was working in a hospital he was in and we were conversing about his condition and I was telling him my ex husband had the same and from there I was able to give Mandy some pointers. Sammie was super man and wasn't letting this disease bring him down. He became a friend at heart and his last words to me I think right before thanksgiving saw him in the supermarket he said I love you friend and me and my wife have to cook a pork and invite you and your husband for dinner. I said now you know you're not suppose to eat all that crazy stuff and he just rolled away in the electric wheelchair and smiled. I'm definitely going to miss him . Rip Sammie you lived and now you're dancing on the golden streets in heaven.

Sam has sarcoidosis and has to struggle to take every breath, every minute of every day. I cared for him a million times in the ER. I have watched him desperately gasp for air and fight COURAGEOUSLY to "get his head above water" for nearly 20 years!

It's been a long, HARD, sometimes sad and complicated journey for Sam and Mandy, but...... BUT ..... Sam NEVER complains or engages in self pity....... EVER! Bravery and selflessness are foundations of Sam's inborn character but are rare commodities among the rest of us .....21st century Americans. My chance to be part of Sam's LIONHEARTED battle has been an ENORMOUS blessing for me, personally! Sam Green stared death in the face DAILY and was a superstar! I have grown to admire (and probably even love) him enormously!

The "opportunity" to watch a brave man suffer, BUT ultimately ....... SOAR ........ is a wonderful, awe inspiring gift from God.

Sam Green often needed my help to simply breathe. He suffered quietly and with unbelievable strength and courage for years ..... yet never complained and was always friendly, selfless and genuine! Thank you Sam for making a place for me in your life! YOU ARE MY HERO!!!

Glad my father is now in the arms of our creator. I will miss the time we had together and I couldn't have asked for a better pop.

You don't get better men than Sam. Cared with his heart for everyone he came in contact with. I can only aspire to live up to him.

Sam was also a loving father.His daughter April was at his bedside in his final moments. She was his world. I am forever grateful for our daughter. May you rest in peace.
