Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sam Sultana, a beloved husband, father, grandfather (Nannu), great-grandfather (Buznannu), and friend.

Sam was the devoted husband of 42 years to his adoring wife, Elizabeth Sultana (nee Norton), a loving father to Michael E. Sultana (Annette), Daniel J. Sultana (Marti), and Christopher N. Sultana (Travis), grandfather to Paige (Skyler), McKenzie, Edward, Mason (Rachel), and Trevor (Amanda); and a proud great-grandfather to Lillian, Calliope, Boston, Lela and Natalee.

Sam lived life as a man of faith, truth, strength, and unwavering love. He dedicated his life to his wife, his beloved family, and his friends. He will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate to know and love him.

Rest in Paradise, our most beautiful and treasured friend. Your legend endures in the legacy we carry forward, and your memory lives forever in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Henry Ford Hospice.

Liz I can't tell you how sad I feel for you. Sam was full of life. My brother Joe was your best man at your wedding. I can almost see those two stirring up things like two schoolboys right now. Rena Xuereb
Dear Liz, Mike, Annette, Danny, Marty, Chris, Travis, grandchildren, family and friends, So sorry for your loss, the world has dimmed with the loss of Sam. His light was bright, we all should have wore shades. A favorite couple Sam and Liz, who compliments each other. Sam was a great raconteur, man of many talents, his storytelling, his ingenuity, his gardening, his cooking, and dancing, his love of God, family and friends and Malta. He had the joi de vivre. He had a couple of classic stories, when he enlisted in the army, a sergeant taking the intake information would say your name and several of the Latinas would say Jesus Gomez… next Jesus Hernandez…. And the Latinas pronounced J as an H so it sounds like “Hesus!” the sergeant says next… Hesus Humanez. He said if I hear one more Jesus…. Sams up next and the sergeant says your name and he says “Savior Sultana!” The other story was he was in the service with Elvis Presley in Germany… I miss you already, you had good yuks, I miss you my brother, my friend.
