Sammy and Russel, I'm very sorry for your loss. Even though I hadn't seen your dad in years, I picture him sitting by me at a Napa meeting like it was yesterday. What a fine man he was. My dad can't get around very much or he surely would have been there with you. My family all send our deepest sympathies and prayers.

Russell and Sammy,
Your loss is shared by many in Plaquemine and Iberville Parish. Mr. Sam was one who always had pride in himself and his surroundings. He would always have an idea how to improve something and make it better.
God has a special place for those who always sought to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. And, without a doubt, Mr. Sam is there working on a way to make it better!
God Bless Mr. Sam and his entire family,

Russell & Sammy,
Joyce and I are so sorry to hear about your dad's passing.
Your dad always treated the NAPA factory reps as family and we thought the world of him not only as a store owner but as a friend and mentor. I have a ton of wonderful memories that include many great meals at your home. Do you remember the time that several reps and DC people after work at your dads sitting out in the carport, swinging, having cocktails when the swing broke.
I remember your dad saying with out missing a beat "well you broke it, go get the latter and fix it!" Your family is in our prayers and may God Bless You All.

Sammy and Russell. Mr. Sam has a special place in my heart. I will always remember how he said my name when he saw me as if seeing me was a pleasant surprise. Your father lived a good life and was a good man. My sincere best wishes for you and all of your families.

Sammy and Russell, I'm am saddened to hear of your loss. Your Dad was a great man who was loved by many, as I'm sure you know. My favorite memory is when he visited us in Augusta and I took him to the Masters Tournament. When we walked through the gates he was laughing and crying at the same time. I will miss my friend.
