To all of the Sturgeon family,

Please accept our deepest sympathy, you are all in our thoughts at this tough time.

One memory I have of Sam is helping unload a huge trailer load of dirt with shovels, Sam had the biggest shovel I had ever seen and was steadily unloading the trailer... .. being probably about 12 at the time I had something to prove and set about matching Sam shovel load for shovel load... after about 10mins (or less) I was stuffed..... without pausing or slowing Sam quietly said "slow and steady wins the race young fella" It´s something that has always stuck with me. Will miss all the chats about tractors and contracting.

With lots of love,

Jeff, Susanne and Jack
