Art wrote a sympathy message

“Our love and sympathy goes out to all of the Sam Donzelli family. I have known Sam for over 50 years. I was one of his past general managers at Gale's Westlake Garden Center for 33 years. Sam was not only my boss but a close friend. I remember many of our conversations and ideas for growing the business. He was a true leader and visionary in the garden center industry. He will be dearly missed by myself and my wife. With loving memories, Art & Melinda Packer”
