Sam J. Printzos, 90, passed away Monday, February 6, 2012 at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne. Born in Muncie, he worked as an Architectural Draftsman with Allen County Planning Commission for 13 years, retiring in 1983.

He was a Fort Wayne resident since 1969. He was a die-hard Cubs and IU fan and was sports enthusiast. He was a very compassionate, spiritual man devoted to the daily reading of the Bible. His great sense of humor and his quick jokes will be missed by those who knew him. He was a draftsman by trade but an artist at heart who enjoyed sharing his gift with others.
