Sam Nario was my BFF for many years. We were neighbors in Foster City where my daughter Lynette and I lived with my sister Reby and her husband Carlito Guerrero. He understood the plight of an assylee and helped me and Lynette get oriented to life in America. Like a big brother, he was there for us for material and moral support.

He was the kindest and gentlest man I have known. It pained me to part when we both had to leave the Bay Area to move closer to our daughters, he with April Joy in Nevada and I with Lynette in Sacramento.

I remember Sam as an Ace Musician to whose piano playing I loved to sing. I will treasure Sam's memory with gratitude for as long as I live. Rest in peace my dear friend.
