Memories and Condolences
for Record Sampson

Not sure what to say?





I am shocked and saddened to learn of Record's death. I remember back to my early days at Walgreens Pharmacy, listening to Record's booming voice when counseling and watching his gentle nature as he helped his patients. We had many wonderful conversations on the joys of raising a grandchild, and many nervous conversations when he started feeling poorly. I was told recently that he had gone back to work, which I took as wonderful news. My heart breaks for his family and all those who loved this gentle giant. Rest in peace, Record. You will be missed.

Dear Nell, I am truly sorrowful for the departure of my friend, my brother. I speak for my family when I say he will sorely be missed! The friendship to every age, young and old, the times that he became a rock and comfort shall never be forgotten. The laughter and good times are treasured.

I pray that the guardian angels of heaven are at your and the family's side during the painful moments; His Holy Spirit dispensing bucketfuls of His love as only He can give.

Cry, for the tears bring your healing; pray through the tears, for the prayers keep you close to the one who will stay, alway. --Love, so much love, Katherine

Record was a good friend and fraternity brother. He will be missed. He was a member of the Charter Line of Eta Mu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Frat. at the U of H, and is therefore a part of history there.
