Not sure what to say?

One of the nicest people I went to school with.

Oh, Carol, I am so sorry about Ron´s passing, I just learned of it today from David Rotenberg. Ron was one of my favorite Price Waterhouse friends (and you, of course!), and my heart aches for you and your girls. Please call me at 214-893-0388 if you wish, and let Jamie know my number too Love, `Pardue´

Mr. Samford was a true leader and inspiration to so many, including my staff and myself. I am forever grateful for his belief in my organization, our mission and our work! His investment in the Hispanic community will not be forgotten.

We were very blessed to have spent a few years together in NOLA. Carol and Ron hosted wonderful Mardi Gras watching parties-- cherished memories for our whole family. Ron was a great host and a great Dad. Rest in Peace, Ron.

Best guy to know and the best baseball player his classmates ever knew at Clinton P. Russell Elementary School (Dallas, Texas) - 1959 - 1965!

It didn´t take long before we knew we had made the right choice in inviting you to join our team at Metairie Bank. I am sorry you had to leave us so soon. We will long remember you for not only where you took us but for who you were. May you Rest In Peace, Ron.

I had the pleasure of working with Ron for many years at Hibernia National Bank. He was a dedicated and respected professional and also someone over time that many people, including myself, can call a true friend. Ron will be missed by me and many others. Ron Samford was a good man.
