Age 63. Suffered a fatal heart attack only a few yards from the spot where his daughter Cara's body had been discovered. But he left a tribute there, too. One of Sam's victories had been to turn the bleak wasteland where Cara died into a flourishing nature preserve, dedicated to Cara and fellow crime victims. From acorns, Sam grew the native oaks planted off Mercy Road, and his trees dedicated to Cara are growing throughout the county now, donated to nonprofit groups. Survived by wife Joyce who still plants Sam's acorns and three other children.
