Open enrollment meetings will not be the same without Sammy in Beaumont. He always had questions that kept me on toes. I loved Sammy’s humor and ability to make me feel welcomed to the branch. He will be missed by many coworkers.
Sammy you were the most trustworthy, caring man. That smile was always shared with so many people. Im so glad i met you. Travel to the heavens Sammy you earned your spot. Love Chris , Jodan and family.
Our hearts are heavy from the loss of a great man. Sammy was a family to all of us here at Performance Truck. He will be greatly missed and forever held in our hearts.
I will forever miss my little buddy as I called him. I first met Sammy some 20 something years ago when he rigged out a brand new Kenworth John Cessac sold me, and who knew a few years down the road, I was the salesman there and you my right hand man. I will miss the Mexican word of the day you sent me on messenger everyday. You were an absolute hoot my brother. Prayers for your family for I know they will miss you the most. Save me a place up there my brother from another mother.
From the first time we met Mr. Villarreal to the last time we chatted he was always the same, kind and loving. We always had warm and sometimes funny conversations. He was a really good and genuine person in a world of fake, insincere and jealous people. Condolences to GiGi, sons, and all the family especially Chris & Danielle. Love Richard & Debra Johnson
