In 1986, he expanded the business to open Bobcat of Savannah, which he ran until retirement in 2011.
He enjoyed fishing, shrimping and watching summer storms come in over the river. He was a big time UGA fan. He enjoyed his memberships in the Oglethorpe Club, the Cotillion Club and the Chatham Club. Sam was predeceased by his sister, Holley M. Dyer.
He is survived by his wife, Diane J. Morgan; daughter, Dr. Natasha M. Ganem (Stephen); sister, Bernice Morgan Kuhn; stepdaughters, Virginia P. Zart (Nicolas) and Anne P. Moore (Jason); five grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Sam your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. This is a difficult time (I've been
there).
I know we had our ups and downs but I wouldn't trade anything for the 18 years we worked together. Renting and selling those forklifts and bobcats (oh the memories).
Rest in peace my friend, you are at the right hand of God the Father now.

Sam was a great man and will be missed. I am so glad that I was able to talk to him two weeks ago and he was in good spirits and I got to tell him of my respect and admiration for the man he was. Rest in peace Sam you certainly deserve it.
