Dear Abbie and family I am so sorry I was unable to attend Sam's service since we have shared so much over years from Mr. Pete's relationship with my father to attending your wedding 56 yrs. ago, Midas and Abbie you and Sam's eyeglasses, etc. My family sends prayers to you and family and we offer our deepest sympathy for Sam will be missed by all! Sincerely, Estelle Perroncel Mannino
My thoughts and prayers go out to Aunt Abbie, and my cousins Gina, Lori, Donna, Holly, Sam Jr., and Stephen. I wish I could be at the service to honor this great man, but I'm sick and still contagious. Sending all my love to this great family. I have many fond memories at your house (in Metairie and Covington). Uncle Sammie was one of the best, and will be missed dearly. Much love, Joanna Goutierez Dubois
My deepest sympathy to the Latino family. A great privilege to have know Mr. Sam, his wonderful smile made me feel joy every time I saw him. He will be greatly missed. His beautiful personality shines through all his family members that I know.

Even at a young age, it was obvious that Sam was a person of character and integrity. First and foremost was his wife and family. My sister-in-law Alvis, (Abbie's mother) was taken into his home early in his marriage and he cared for her as he would his own mother until her death at ninety-plus. That kindness takes a special sort of man.
In those early years, one of my favorite memories was when Sam, Abbie and Alvis came to visit when we were stationed at Fort Ord, California. They had hoped that we could all go to Disneyworld, about five hundred miles from where we lived. After traveling all night to get there, for the first time ever, the park was closed!
We still had a wonderful time during their visit and created memories that have lasted all these years.
I wish that my health would allow me to travel so I could be there to honor a great soul.
Abbie, you and the children are in my prayers during this difficult time. I pray that you will find peace and comfort knowing that Sam is no longer suffering and is with God. Much love, Aunt Darlina
My prayers are with your family at this difficult time. Mr. Latino will be greatly missed! He was such a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air. I love you all! Lauren (EJ Hem/Onc)
