My favorite memory was seehing him on the lifeguard stand at the YMCA. Always looking out for us!
This just broke my heart. Just looked him up on Facebook not realizing he passed away. He was definitely a good man and done right by people. Sympathy to the family , sorry for y’all’s loss
Where do you pick one memory of Sam? He was truly one of my favorite people - just a nice guy who loved simple things, like FISHING. All the fishing pictures he shared, such a joy for life. And of course Milly the Berniedoodle! I obviously loved those pics and posts being a vet, but it was more than that. He had a wonderful bond with her that he loved sharing with us all. I looked so forward to those pics and posts!
It’s hard to imagine a world without Sam. I’m so sorry for Tonda and Sam, my heart breaks for them and the rest of the family. You will truly be missed, Sam. You really were one of the good ones.
So sorry to learn of Sam’s passing. The Lord got a good one for sure. Went through Annunciation with Sam and then high school. You couldn’t ask for a better person and so full of life and happy times. Sam was a true friend. My heart goes out to Tonda and Sam,Jr.and Fran. He will be missed ❤️
Through cousin Tonda, Sam and I met when we were young men in the mid 70s. He was confident, intelligent, warm, and ready to take life by the horns. I am deeply saddened by his passing. May grace be upon you my old time friend.
Good lawyer and even better human being.
I am so sorry to hear this. Much love to Tonda and the family. Sam was one of the good guys and I am privileged to say he was my friend. I hadn't seen him a long time, but the thought of him always brought a grin. - Charles Byrd
