Note: Custom Field:<_FA#> Residence Custom Field:<_FA#> 22 May 1992Laurel Hill, Springfield, OR REFN: 4.7 Sam is the only Sweeney boy of the James E. Sweeney family to live into his 80's. I, Jerry Sweeney, visited him in late 1983, in Springfield, Or. He was in great health and eating like 'a thresher'. He married Doris Girard, who was crippled as a youngster in an auto/bicycle accident, and nearly lost her legs. (8/1/91) I visited Sam again in Aug. 1991 - still in great shape, however, having difficulty (at a weight of 123 lbs.) taking care of his wife who is confined to a wheelchair. Doris had a terrible ulcer on her only leg that required surgery in late fall of 1991. After recuperating in the hospital she was moved to a private care facility. Date: 7 May 1992, received word that Sam had a subarachnoid hemorrhage; he died May 16, 1992, cremated, and buried at Laurel Hill near Eugene and Springfield on May 22, 1992. I miss him!
