His legacy
Sam's Rock & ours ~November 24, 2006~ You will never be alone Sam!!  

SAM, "YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE~OUR SPIRITS ARE NOW WITH YOU"
Sam's rock looked "Beautiful" with All the rocks & stones from his friends and family surrounding it!  We were very touched with the response from so many Friends & Family who came and signed rocks, or dropped off their own, & those who even mailed them to us.
  
We are Forever Grateful to All of You for being a part of Sam's life/our lives!!



Sam knew the True meaning of Friendship and lived it  

The loss of Sam will remain with us the rest of our lives and so will his legacy.  Sam was a true friend, a caring friend, an always stay beside you no matter what friend.  Sam's friends were his family, his life.  He would do anything for any one of them, anytime, day or night.  If you were Sam's friend~You meant Everything to him......




Scholarship in "Memory of SAM" at Oak View High School in Oak Park, Ca.  



On Friday, June 15, 2007 Sam's Friend & Our's,
 Randi Klein presented The Sam Manocchia Memorial Scholarship
 in our place, although we were there in spirit.  
The Sam's Scholarship was presented to 
Alexander Feuer.  A young man who like Sam, 
worked hard to overcome some struggles, 
and is ready and willing to take on a future 
wide open with Millions of Possibilities.  

We wish for Alex Now & Always, 
only the very best of what Life has to offer.
 
 
Alex~ Dream what you want to Dream;
Go where You want to go;
Try to be who You really are;
Because Life is short,
and often only gives
one chance to do things.
So . . . 
Go For it!!  We Believe in YOU!



Ms. Allen & Alex

The Perpetual Plaque that will now hang in Oak View High School's main Office was introduced:



June 26, 2006
On Friday, June 16, 2006 The Manocchia Family; John, Joyce, Vince and Angela presented for the first time The Sam Manocchia Memorial Scholarship!  We presented it to not only 2 graduates but 2 Friends!!  SEAN GARRISON & ERIK KAMRATH.  On the plaques that were presented along with the scholarships is a quote from Les Brown that says:
              "SHOOT FOR THE MOON,
                   EVEN IF YOU MISS IT,
                            YOU WILL LAND AMONG THE STARS!"
Encouraging them to continue to follow their Dreams and always set high goals, the worst that can happen is that they find Happiness in something else.  Sean & Erik are not only capable of obtaining their Dreams, they Deserve it!!  Remember that Life is precious!  Live each day with no regrets, and embrace each tomorrow with a smile and gratitude!  We love you guys and can't wait to hear about all your successes!!

Starting with the Graduating class of 2006, one graduate who meets the qualifications will receive a scholarship in Sam's name from the donations we received in his memory.  We were able to set up a fund that will secure a scholarship in Sam's name for the next 20 yrs!  Would like to Send our Love and Gratitude to All of our Friends and Family for their support, it is because of you that this is possible.

 


Look for the Adopt A Highway sign: Friends & Family of SAM MANOCCHIA  
We Adopted a highway located just outside of Lone Pine on Highway 395. We see Sam's name on our way to Mammoth and on our way home. Friends and Family are welcome to help us clean the highway.  We are obligated to 6x's a year.  Our first crew hit the highway in March, you can see the pictures in Sam's Photo Album.  Thank you to Chelsea Wader, Chase Stephenson, Ashley Biglow, Jessica Papa and Chris (last name?) for helping at our first highway clean up.  

Look for SAM at the New Volcom Skatepark in Mammoth!
