I am so sorry to have heard of my life long friend passing. I have known of Sammy Gaw since 1937. My brother Ray Higgins and his wife Bea, shared a house apartment with Joyce and Sammy in 1951, in Kemptville. Sammy played hockey for the NY Rovers, the farm team for the NY Rangers in 1943. Sammy and I played baseball together in 1943 -45, We went to see the NY Yankee's play ball in 1945. Mary, my wife and I went to Cochrane Ontario, for a Base Ball Tournament with Joyce, Donna, and Sammy in 1972. Sammy and I had an opportunity to spend some Quality time together over the past six years. We often had lunch at the Spencerville Legion. Sam often came over for dinner with Charlie Thibert, Mary Dawson, and my daughter Liz and I. We laughed, and told old stories, it was so good for the soul ! My Sincere Condolences to Peter, David, and Donna.
RIP My Friend !!
Jack Higgins, Kemptviile
