Sams and Sons, working all across the East Coast. He shared his talents with his two sons and nephews, as well as their friends whom he employed. L.A. was always good for a story and many friends and family looked forward to the times when they could gather around for some interesting conversation. L.A. enjoyed fishing, hunting, and attending family gatherings. In his later years, he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and entertaining them.
