Samuel R. Reakes Jr., 68, passed away October 1st, 2021 at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady, NY after a four month battle with Covid 19.
Sam was born September 30, 1953 in Syracuse, NY.

After many years, he decided to close the store and work for a local auto auction company home based out of Dallas, TX.
Sam was a great guy who would do anything for anyone. He loved racing, music, his cat, Pook and sharing camp with his fiancé at Brennan's Beach.
He was predeceased by his parents, Samuel Sr. and Zelda, his brother, Eddie and sister, Judy.
Sam has an extended family and friends that he loved and cared about, especially, Jan Bridenbaugh, his fiancé and soulmate.
