Sammy Benavides

Dearest Aunt Sue...Cousins, Hannah, Sarah, Molly, & Emily,

I will always remember Sam being a funny, kind, outspoken, Uncle. He would always bring a smile to your face, even if your day was the absolute worst. All I can say is, I don't think anyone could have been a better father & provider then him, & I just know he is in a better place now.

Bless You All.

Love, your Niece & Cousin,

Bri.

Dear Sue and Girls,
I remember your dad as a very energetic storyteller especially when it came to fishing. My favorite one was when he picked up a hitchhiker who had never caught a salmon by rod and reel so your dad took him to Goose Creek and showed him how to catch a fish the 'Alaskan Way'. On the way home that day he found out the guy was a US Fish & Game Officer and Sam nearly drove off the road!
Your dad once told me that in his fishing pictures the fish were so big the pictures...

Dearest Sue & Family,
We are so saddened to learn of Sam's passing. Since the very first time we met back in the early 80's, his conversatins were always about you and/or the girls and as each of them was born, he couldn't wait to brag about his newest little girl. It has always been so evident how very much he loved you all. May you each find comfort in your own special memories.
Our deepest sympathy,
