August 21, 1953 to August 21, 2022

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Sam. His wife Ingrid of 38 years and son’s Evan and Mark were with him at the time of his passing. Sam defected from Bulgaria at the young age of 17 and made a home for himself in Canada. He met Ingrid in Toronto and they started his roofing business S.K. Roofing Contractors in 1984. He worked for many years in Toronto and in 2004 the family moved to Arden where he hoped to retire. Sam was in big demand here and his retirement was postponed until 2019. Sam was an active member of the Arden community. He played euchre, horseshoes and darts. He excelled at all he did.

In his retirement years Sam became an avid vegetable gardner. He planted hundreds of bulbs of garlic, acres of potatoes and he often had a fresh tomato in the middle of the winter from his “indoor garden”. He also had many a conversation with the wildlife that looked on from the other side of the fence.

Sam also had a fondness for moving rocks.

Sam was a strong man and a gentle and kind husband and father. He was greatly loved and will be greatly missed. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, children and family.

Our thanks to the Sharbot Lake Medical Office who were respectful and kind and the nurses and doctors at KGH.
