I am so sorry to hear about Sam's passing. He was a kind man, who always had time to chat whenever he saw you. Sam married one of our daughters and entertained our guests when we were fashionably late. He always ready with a story to tell. He will be missed.

This is very sad news to find. Our condolences to Sigrid and family.
Sam was a great neighbour and friend. We had many good chats together over the years many of which happened over the Clyde River from our back yard. In addition two of our children had the honour of having Sam marry them.
Sam will be missed in the Village of Lanark.
cheers to Sam.

Deepest sympathy Sigrid and the entire Draffin family. What can one say about such a warm, loving and Christian man! Sam was a friend to all, so caring and touched so many lives. He was our pastor for many years when we were raising our family and married them all! Sam was not only our pastor but our dear friend. R.I.P. our friend in the arms of your loved Lord!

Our hearts are with you, Sigrid, losing such a beloved, devoted husband and endearing friend. Upon our meeting Sam when we moved from Calgary 27 years ago, we knew we met an exceptional person. He blest our lives in a most warmhearted, kind, caring loving friendship. We, too, shall miss him always. Sam was a pillar of the community, and a devoted Christian. He was a blessing to all of us. He is safely in the arms of Jesus.

Dear Sigrid and family, I am so sorry to hear Sam passed away. I have know him since I was in Sunday school at Lanark Baptist Church many many years ago when he was preaching there. He knew my parents well. They are in Heaven too. Sam always had a smile and cared for everyone. The last time I saw Sam was at my husband Bill's funeral. I will keep you and your family in prayer and ask God to give you the peace that passes all understanding. May you be comforted during this time. You will be missed Sam.
