Mike Samuels passed away on July 4th at 83 years old.  Mike and Sue just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last week. Mike has had chronic congestive heart failure and lung disease for a while and was under hospice care and died peacefully at home.  The Samuels have been members of Bonai Shalom for over 15 years and Mike served as treasurer on our Board of Directors.  It is a very sad loss.

There will be a memorial service at Bonai Shalom on Wednesday July 9th at 11am or on livestream here
