Samuel George Thanos died June 28, 2012, at Kaiser Hospital in Vallejo, of cancer. Born in Napa on October 4, 1945, he belonged to Napa High Class of 1964. He worked as a welder at Kaiser Steel, before going to work as a laundryman — first at Napa State Hospital and then at the California Veterans Home, where he served more than 30 years before retirement.
Sam was a quiet man who was known throughout the neighborhood as having a soft heart for stray cats and other animals; he also enjoyed hunting and fishing and taking rides with friends and family.
