John Owen Sams

We are so sorry to hear about John's death. I was able to meet John three short years ago at one of Kimball Midwest meetings. John was a very respected person who touched so many lives with his joy and generosity. John will be miss deeply, and we can only imagine the heartbreak you feel.

One of my fondests memories of John was all of the kindness he showed to everyone he met. John alwasy treated everyone with respect. John involved many of us in that kindness, and we were all...

John was our neighbor and we always enjoyed chatting with him.

I met John in 1994 when I joined Kimball. At the start he volunteered his help & experience to help me succeed. I looked forward to seeing him at our sales meetings. He always took time to greet me & ask about business & my family. He was a true gentleman.

John was a good man with a smile for everyone and he will be missed by all.
Heaven is a much nicer place now

John was a kind man.Quick with a story and full of praises for his friends and family. We will all miss John he made our world a better place.

Dear Rue Ann and family,

I met John after joining Kimball in 2001. I was very impressed with his expertise and ability to be respected by his peers. He was a man of class and integrity. I owe much of my success to him, he will be greatly missed. May God Bless you and your family.

Dear Mrs. Sams and Family
Please accept my condolences for John's passing.

I came to know John at Kimball meetings. What a class act he was! You and family will be in my prayers.

I met John 10 years ago and was impressed by what a gentleman he was. I cared for John deeply and always will. May God bless his family deeply.

Dear Rue Ann and Family
I met John almost 10 years ago and was immediately impressed by his humor, helpfulness and humbleness. Everybody marveled at his grasp of hydraulics/brass, and his willingness to share that with others.
John will be missed for many reasons but not forgotten.
My sincere sympathy to all of you.
