Worked as a bus boy at the Cattleman's in Dallas, on Live Oak in the early 70's Sammy was Ray Dunn's and my boss!

Sam was such a special neighbor just by how he greeted you with a warm smile, hello, or just a wave of his hand. Just that alone I will miss dearly. We were so blessed to have known Sam, saddened with grief of his passing, but glad to know he's at rest with our Lord and Savior.

Sammy, You will always be remembered by me as kind and self sacrificing. Some of my favorite memories with you are you letting us fish, laughing at us jet skiing, and continually and voluntarily going to the gas station for gas. You ALWAYS wore a smile, and your laugh was contagious. May all the smiles you helped restore smile on for you, may your charity work grow, and may you rejoice in the company of God!
