Click Here to read Sam's Obituary in the Toledo Blade
Sam Ciralsky, a great person and an employee of Highland Meadows the past three seasons, died last night. He was battling various health issues, but was an absolute inspiration to our crew.
Sam was a Toledo Golf-Turf mainstay. He was the owner of Toledo Turf, which supplied parts, service, and golf turf equipment to the Toledo area. In retirement, he sought me out to find part time work. He mowed fairways and rough, and was an absolute pleasure to have in the shop. Despite his sometimes poor health, he always smiled, and would often spend time in the lunchroom telling stories from the good old days.
A few weeks ago, Sam was forced to leave his position to take care of some health issues, but always swore he would return. Just two weeks after his surgery was the last time I spoke with him, and he made sure to remind me that he would be back in no time to help us put the course to bed. Sam wasn't one to tell us all the details of his condition, he wanted things to be happy and fun all the time.
Sam will be missed. His spirit was amazing. He was an active family man, a hard worker, and he brightened all of our lives here at Highland Meadows. Sammy, we will miss you.
