With a heavy heart I write this log entry.SoghHom ToraHk, Tactical Officer, Sam Samson has passed away and has now been assigned to serve in the Black Fleet. I have lost a dear friend and comrad. I can remember his tales of past glories, victories and funny stories over many mugs of firewine. But most of all, how he touched our lives in many ways. Life's lessions of Honor, Duty, and Loyalty has earned him a place in the Great Hall of Sto-Vo-Kor. To you, my old friend,the crew and i raise our mugs of firewine in your hour of honor and glory! May you fight the glorious battle forever and all of Sto-Vo-Kor tremble with your approach.

It is with a heavy Heart that a fellow friend, Star Trek fan and

fellow Warrior has passed.

We knew him as Sam..He passed away suddenly at his work on Sat. He was a strong man in character, stature and kinship to all who were around him. Always a smile and a story to tell, he was someone I came to admire. No one showed his crazy side for radio shows or tid bits of stories while he was in the service for our country like him. He was one of the first people I got to know well in USS Haven. During his time in the hospital, I told him, he was family..my family..I thought of him as my uncle.

I shall honor him at this upcoming Vulkon..FRi as a Federation

Officer and on Sat. as his fellow Klingon Warrior..

HE will NOT BE FORGOTTEN

I too join in this howl, and also on behalf of my theld. I offer you these words of our order taken from the qaptaQ ceremony of rememberance.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember him. We are better for having known him.

Hail, Warrior. Not have you gone as one dead, you have gone as one living, to sail upon the ships of the Black Fleet.

Honored Friend and Brother, we offer thee a last, a long Farewell. You are beyond mortal battles; may you battle evermore victorious in the Black Fleet.

Most of YOU were Sam's Family. Sam was always there trying to give a

bit of himself. He was overwhelmed and embarrassed when complimented or

given a bit of attention. He was dependable and reliable, always

willing to take responsibility at club activities as necessary to ensure

things went smoothly. He shall be remembered fondly. This is a sad and difficult time, but Sam would ask that we find a positive spin in his memory.
