So sorry to hear of Sammie’s passing. I first met him many years ago. Ricky and I were good friends in school and he spoke of Sammie often. I enjoyed his stories at breakfast. What a fascinating life he led. He will be missed. Prayers for the family during this difficult time.

Mr. Sam was one of my long-time feed store favorites. He never seemed to meet a stranger & always struck up a conversation with anyone who came in the store.I had the pleasure of listening to many of his life stories. I will always cherish those times with him. He was known by many & will be dearly missed!
