Sam, The day my family moved into the neighborhood many years ago, you and Bev were the first ones we met. You made us feel welcomed immediately. You will surely be missed. Rest in peace my friend. I will always remember your great baking goods you provided on some of the coldest and snowiest mornings. Its not goodbye, its til we meet again in another neighborhood. Wade Engelhart

To Bev and family
The years have flown by but there is no way the memories have faded. The Schoep's years hold many
wonderful friendships. We may have lost touch but but the good memories are still fresh. I am so sorry for your loss and hope the support of family and friends can bring you some comfort. Karen Buckley

Bev, Pam, and all of the Sines family- My condolences on this huge loss from your family. Although I haven't seen you all in many years, I am so saddened on the loss of this man who at one time I considered like a 2nd father to me. I will always remember his great sense of humor, kindness, and friendship. Spent a lot of time at the Sines house and have a lot of great memories of your whole family. When I was out at my mom's after my dad passed, I would see him drive by and he always had that great smile and a friendly wave if I was outside when he drove by. Cherish the memories and keep them close to your heart. He will be deeply missed. Heaven has gained a true angel. RIP Sam(also known to me as Dad) Praying for your family. Stacey Schulz
