Samuel is survived by his sister Rita and lots of nieces, nephews, and their children. He will be greatly missed by all who know him.

Samuel grew up in a large family in Jamaica, and he was the baby of the family. He worked as a jockey in his teens in Jamaica, which is a sport he loved. His passion was horse racing. He also worked at National Bakery in Jamaica for many years. In the 1960s, Samuel immigrated to Canada and worked at an apple orchard for a while. Later, he switched to transportation and worked in that field until his retirement.
