Booker T. "Sammy" Dobson Jr.

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”

Booker made my mother’s time at Maria Joseph a more pleasant experience. He touched the lives of not only residents but their friends and family. His gift was not only musical but a truly pure heart.

We will forever remember that in our lowest time at my mother’s funeral that Booker set aside his own grief and shared his musical...

I met Booker at Maria Joseph, and he always had a smile for anyone who spoke to him. After dinner Booker would often entertain the residents and visitors with his musical talents on the organ. My mother would make request and he would have her rocking in her wheelchair.
My Deepest Sympathy goes to his family and friends. May God Bless you all.

Sammy you were Great keyboardist, you made my voice
shine, we will meet again, your gone to soon.
Judy Brown

Peace be with Sammy's, family, friends, and associates.

May this poem bring you some comfort and peace.

I'm Gone to Be With Jesus

Don’t spend too much time in mourning
Tears are for the sad.
I left to be with Jesus
And this should make you glad.
Don’t waste your hour in grieving,
No need to feel distress.
I am tired of life’s frustration,
And had to get some rest.
Don’t lose the love I gave you

Sammy had the most "Beautiful Singing Voice" that I ever heard. He will be deeply missed at Mckinley United Methodist Church.

With sincere Sympathy.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Marcia (Smith) Reese.

Booker(Sammy) wasone of the most talented keyboardist I've ever known and worked with. I was most fortunate to know him and work on stage with. We will all miss Sammy who was taken from us way to soon. Lenny Davis

Booker was a very talented man he will be deeply missed by all of us at the Dialysis Unit North. He was a joy to listen to and a pleasure to know. Our prayers are with the family.
