He had immigrated to Canada in 1958 where he had owned restaurants in Melville and Neudorf and his latest was the Gateway Drive Inn which was later renamed Mak's Restaurant till 1990. That is when they decided to retire to Regina to be closer to their son, Donnie and his family. Sam was always a quiet man and never wanted to cause trouble for anyone. He taught his children and grandchildren what hard work was and that we needed to do that to succeed in life. He lived his life simply and never wasted. He spent many hours tending to the yard or simply just sitting in a lawn chair watching the fish swim in the pond. His greatest joy was eating out and listening to the chatter.
