Thoughts and prayers are with all the family on the passing of dear Neville… I always knew of him but never knew him… Was so happy I got to make a connection through Chuck and sort of meet him through facebook before he passed away… Aunt Hannah and Neville were always remembered and thought of fondly by their Newfoundland family… Rest In Peace dear Neville… Hear the Angels Sing and the Songs of the Birds and the Sound of the Oceans Wave… Hear Our Lord Jesus Christ as He welcomes You to His Heavenly Arms today…
We have many fond memories of our dear neighbor Neville for 10 years at Asbury Grove. Our thoughts and our prayers are with Claire and family through this most difficult time.
My family enjoyed knowing Neville, he would come into the office and we would spend time signing with one another. He would tell me when I signed something wrong and we would both have a hearty laugh. I was blessed to share a few good years with him. Remember he is always their in your memories and heart.
The Taylor family.
My deepest sympathy to the family of Neville Samson, he was a good friend of my father, Robert Morris. I remember meeting Mr. Samson on different occasions with my Dad. He was always so nice to talk with, and will be sorely missed.
