Sam left lots of happy memories for his customers to cherish.He gave us his "personalized service"! I'll never forget the music collection he kept behind the counter.He'd be dancing when we came in, and ask us to name the tune!Sometimes Fred would be there with his accordian..and play the "Tarentella" for me,knowing I liked it.Sam's favorite words were" I tell it like it is"..which was always from the heart! A very big heart, that will remain in our hearts forever! We were blessed to have known him. Amen!

BLESS YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY HOME.HEAVEN IS REJOICING!

Uncle Sam will always be in my thoughts and heart. I will never forget him. He was always a strong presence during my Christmas's spent at Aunt Connie's and Uncle Joe's. His lottery picks or playing electronic poker beside him. His constant insistance to have fun and when I was little, sneaking money to me when my parents weren't looking. Best wishes and my deepest condolences for Aunt Connie. Much love from Thailand.

I?ll never forget Sam. Our family used to live around the corner on Cookman Avenue and my sister Nancy and I used to go in there to get soda for dinner and he would give us a dum dum lollipop. He was always happy and full of energy. We moved out of state, but upon return visits we would always make a point of stopping in to relive those childhood memories and chat with Sam. He always had interesting stories to share. He definitely was a National Park icon and will always be in our memory.

As Uncle Sam's birthday girl, I feel it is my duty to tell about some memories I had with him.
Every Sunday, before dinner, Uncle Sam would call us "kids" to him. We would immediately form a line and he would give us each a few dollars to spend on whatever we wanted to. At every Sunday dinner, for as long as I can remember, we sat next to each other at the head of the table, him to my right. When I was finished eating, I would quickly excuse myself from the table and turn on channel 23 so that he could catch the lottery. When it came on, he would go watch it and fall asleep on the floor. Everyone could hear him when he tried to get up from the floor after his nap. He would always make a big scene saying how much this and that hurt. But quickly he would begin dancing and singing in a way that no one else could ever replicate.
Uncle Sam had a giving heart. Every time I went to the liquor store I could count on getting my favorite drink, whether it be a yoohoo or soda, then going into the back room and getting some caramels and chocolates. And I would never leave without getting a lolipop and playing with the tabulator.
I haven't seen Uncle Sam much in the past few years, but my memories of him will never fade.
Uncle Sam: I will miss you dearly but I know you are in a better place now.
Your birthday girl,
Mary

My Uncle Sam was unselfishly devoted to his Mother Sarah. He called National Park a home he loved all his customers. He was a Icon in town. He told people he was in the mafia. He was a ladies man quite a flirt. He was loud he always wanted to get his point accross. He always wanted to hit the big one playing the lottery. Endless stories of past and present. His committment to work was endless truly dedicated to Aunt Emma. After his stroke he couldnt talk but his blue eyes told a story without saying a word.I know hes at peace,no more pain he's finally free!! I will forever love and adore you until the day we meet again.
Love eternally,
Maria

Cousin Sam was a "second" cousin to me, but was FIRST in all of our hearts. I wish I had been able to spend more time with him during his last sad years. Even though family circumstances prevented that, our hearts were always with him, and we will miss his kind and loving spirit. Connie, his sister, always kept us informed about his life and health, and we all shared with her Sam's love and concern.

Sam was a much beloved cousin and friend. He was a Gentle Man, who loved his family, especially his remaining sibling, Connie, her husband, children, and grandchildren. They in turn loved him and cared for him to the best of their abilities, even in turbulent times. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to your family. You do not know me, but I am one of those National Park kids all grown up now and I have many fond memories of Sam while I was growing up. I remember going into the Liquor Store for Pepsi and Sam would always have fresh pepperoni bread and he would say "Little Foxy - eat - you need some meat on your bones" He was a kind and gentle soul. I was on this site paying respects to a friend whose mother passed from National Park and saw Sam's Memorial and I just had to say something. My childhood is coming back like wild fire. Precious memories combined with sadness. May Sam's soul rest peacefully and bless all of you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Uncle Sam. He was such a kind and selfless man. You have always been such a loving sister, Connie and your love and kindness was shared with your brother until his last days. I count myself lucky for knowing "Uncle Sam" and remembering the "good old days".
My deepest sympathy,

I want to share so many of the beautiful memories I have of my GodFather and Uncle Sam. Where do I begin: Well from a small child my earliest memmories are of him ringing our door bell and delivering to us some kind of treats. Fresh doughnuts or warm butter rolls, a hot pizza. He never came to our door without something for us to enjoy. He told the best stories, selling baloons and stuffed animals, pretzels at the parades in Phila when he was young. Shooting dice on the streets with his buddies in Queen Village. He knew everyone and everyone knew him. I was always so impressed at how important we all were to him. He was a part of my everyday life. Always interested in our school work and how well we were doing. We could always count on a dollar for our good report cards from Uncle Sam. He was a mathematical whiz. He could calculate any sum of numbers in his head in seconds.He was always so proud to share in our accomplishments. He loved us like his own children. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone. He contributed to many charities and was always so proud to tell you which ones, His wallet overflowed with pictures of all his loving family. And did he brag. well you had to listen to at least fifteen minutes of bragging ,bare minimum, if you ran in to him. Every one in the town of Nat'l Park knew I was a "Big Shot Nurse" and a really good one as Uncle Sam told them over and over again. He was supportive and generous throughout all the stages of my life. From the time I married Ed to the beautiful birth of Olivia, He loved her so much. He bought her EVERY beanie baby animal there was on the market. He loved when he would find the rare ones. His smile would light up the room when the children were all around him! I am so glad Olivia is old enough to remember how much he loved her too. He was unselfish and giving to an extreme. Sometimes he was sassy but I always was able to calm that side of him. As he aged and traveled a road of trials and tribulations, He still remained devoted to his love of his "kids" and family. He would still give the shirt off his back and he remained a very Religious Man. He would always say "Thankyou Jesus" . He was a very Humble Man with a Great Big Heart who left us all many happy memories. He taught me the wonderful lesson of giving and the rewards that follow. I know he is a beautiful Angel in Heaven enjoying the long awaited peace he so deserves! With All My Love, Sara

Our sympathy also goes out to the entire Ziccone family, Sam's nieces, Rose, Sara, and Joanne, and their families, for all the love and care they displayed to their special "Uncle Sam."

Our family is saddened by the loss of our beloved Uncle Sam. Visiting him at work and enjoying his lively discussions at Aunt Connie?s dinners are memories we will cherish forever. Uncle Sam was always very thoughtful to the children and proudly displayed their pictures as they grew through the years.
Our hearts go out to his sister, Connie, as she mourns the loss of her brother. We pray that Our Dear Lord will take Uncle Sam into the peace and comfort of His home.

First my condolences and Prayers go out to my Mother inlaw. I will never forget the many things Uncle Sam did for me and my family. He loved his neices and nephews very much and shared his birthday with Mary so proudly. He always got a kick at Sunday dinners how he and Mary had to sit next to each other. Uncle Sam was always included as if he were a second father to everyone. The stories of him selling soft pretzels on the corner in South Philly and growing up were always fun to listen to even though you may have heard them a thousand times. Uncle Sam, thank you very much and you will be missed but never forgotten.
Love
Danny

Unfortunetely my family and I will be unable to attend Uncle Sam's service. We would like to express our deepest condolences to our mother and Uncle Sam's devoted sister Connie Ziccone. We will always remember the traditional Sunday dinners at Mom and Dad's house, and we know how special they were to Uncle Sam. My fondest memories with Uncle Sam were the frequent trips to Atlantic City with Rose and Sara and watch him happily work the room. The last couple of years of his life were difficult due to uncontrollable circumstances, but my mother always told us to remember the man he was, and to respect the love and generosity he displayed for so many years.

I want to remember my cousin Sam as he use to be, up until about five years ago. He was very loving then, very devoted to those who really knew and loved him. I will remember Sam as being very young at heart. He has suffered enough now, and I pray that his soul will rest in peace.
Share Your Memory of
Salvatore
