TO MEMORY TIMELINE
Even though I didn’t get to see Uncle Sam often, I have such fond memories of him. He reminded me so much of my dad. Rest in peace Uncle Sam.
To Uncle Sam, The very first time we met you that was God’s grace. No words can explain our gratitude for you and your pace. All we can say in our heart you have a huge space. At all time you have been our safe and happy place. We always found you beside us whenever we were in mess. We will forever cherish your memories and remember your calm and composed face.

Not an uncle, but so much more. Not a friend, but so much more. U Sam, you opened your home and you opened your heart the very first day we met. You gave so much more than you received. I am better for having had you in my life. Listening to Joe Sample and Ahmad Jamal will not be the same knowing that you are no longer here. RIP my dear Uncle Sam. You will always be in my heart.
Uncle Sam, I won't forget you taking us to the arcade, fish and chips, and the bird park when our family first visited Melbourne over 20 years ago. You and Aunty Bernice were so kind, warm and hospitable. You made our time there so special. You will be dearly missed Uncle. Rest in peace
Rest in peace Uncle Anselm. Will.always treasure memories of the pleasant times spent with you and Aunty.Bernice both at Singapore and Melbourne.
Uncle Sam was extremely hospitable and generous. Whenever or where ever we met, there was always a sincere welcome, a loving smile and a genuine sense of care about our well being. I shall always remember our day outings to the nearby hills and lavender fields. Simple time spent together but lived most fully. Farewell and may you be united in everlasting joy with Aunty Bernice and Clive.
Dear dear Uncle Sam, A few things mark you in my life. Although you took your family to another country to live, you used to come back to KL to visit nearly every year. You, Uncle Edgar, dad and all the uncles and aunts were so close. And whenever you talked with any of your neices and nephews, it was always to the heart. You were an important link in the fabric of our family. Thank you for having been a part of my (our) lives. While we grieve your passing, we also rejoice that you have entered eternal life with God Our Father, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, all the angels and saints, and all our loved ones who have gone before us. Alleluia.
I will always remember you as one of my Mum’s favourite cousins. You and Aunty Bernice were always so warm and hospitable whenever we came to visit you both at your home in Melbourne. Such happy memories. Rest in peace Uncle Anselm. ❤️❤️
I have many fond memories of Uncle Sam during his many visits to our home when he was in Malaysia. His love for music was something my Dad and him found in common and they used to spend many an hour in deep conversation on this. Rest in peace Uncle Sam. You are finally at home with Aunty Bernice and Clive and with all who have gone before you.
PAPA GOD grant you eternal glory and life dear Anselem, please pray for us and say hello to Clive and Bernice. Amen.
