Mr. Sammons...you will be missed. You were a truly kind and understanding man. You helped me get started when I ventured out on my own and for this I will be forever grateful. Godspeed Mr. Sammons and God Bless your family and all the employees of Economy Beauty Supply.

I met Bud very quickly one afternoon while I was in Economy Beauty. In our short meeting I learned so much about him. Bud was a soldier, a family leader, with strength and compassion. A business man who helped his team grow and become strong. Quick with a joke and a greeting hand shake he made me feel very comfortable in his company. I feel very honored to have had the conversation I had with him. The wonderful qualities Bud had are visible in all his children and grandchildren, as well as his distributor team at Economy. God Bless you Bud, and your family.

Bud, you made a lasting impression on me. We were initially business associates but you welcomed me into your family and made me feel like I was a part of your wonderful life.
You are gone but will never be forgotten. Those that knew you would agree with me that your sense of humor was warm and lively, the one joke that I will always associate with you is the "Tally Ho" joke.
I am sure that you will bring light, love and laughter to the heavens. Until we meet again.
God bless you and your family.
