Sam was a great friend . We had lots of fun in High School……he was a great artist and I still have a few of his drawings. We especially had fun in Mrs. Wright’s art class. Sam will always be remembered .

I know we have not kept in touch over the years. I know that you are home now with your Mom and Dad.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Sam years ago at the Fleetwood restaurant and later I had spoken to Sam at Montgomery Wards. It has been years. Sam was a great guy! He always treated people with respect, and like he would want to be treated. Sam also had a great sense of humor.

Stanley and Family, What wonderful memories from school days. Sam was so talented with various media in art class and made it so much fun. You all will be in our prayers at this most difficult time, but a joyful time as you celebrate Sam’s life with great stories. Keith and Judy Hamrick (Judy Rhodes)
