I knew Sam being in ANG, a million years ago, we worked in different sections, Sam in maintenance and myself in the Fire Dept, Sam always had a sincere approach to everyone. His respect, devotion, to his position,and the people around him was supreme. He will surely be missed, my deepest sympathy to his family.

I was privileged to meet Sam through Judy Rice, who tried her hardest to keep me straight at the Federal Reserve Bank. He was a fine gentleman, and I always enjoyed chatting with him at Legal Department gatherings and over the telephone. My wife Sue joins me in sending to all of you our deepest sympathy. Sincerely -- Sue & Bill Bridenstine

Bowles Family,
Hilary was my boss in the Air Guard forty eight years ago and I have considered him my friend ever since. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time of sorrow. May God bless and comfort your family during this time.

I know everyone called him "Sam" but for some reason I always called him "Hilary". I guess because the first time I mixed him a Goochland Lemonade at the North Pole 27 years ago he told me his name was "Hilary". So thats what it was to me. Hilary always looked out for me...I was a kid back then...he would ask if there was food in my refridgerator, burried my cat when I was to upset, even pulled my car out of the ditch when a band of "Harbor Lights" blind sided me! He would know what Im talking about. I am so greatful to have gotten the chance to say goodbye.
Love to you and Judy forever,
Renee
