Samuel Abernathy

I am so sad to hear about Sam's passing. I went all thru elementary school at Northeast Elem with him and then on to Penn Ave for 7th grade where he was in my homeroom again, and on thru high school at Fort Hill. He will always be Sammy to me. We also all knew Danny and Andy, and his mom would come to school, too - she was so pretty. He was so cute, very smart and shy which was tricky since the girls loved him in elementary school. We were a pretty close community living "out Valley Road"...

My dad was an exemplary human being. He was relentlessly humble and kind and always put his loved one´s needs before his own. Saying that he loved cars is an understatement. Saying that he loved to read, also an understatement. He had an otherworldly connection with his pets. He loved the life he had worked so hard for and didn´t need anything else. I can just picture him unwinding at the end of the day by reading and listening to a baseball game on the radio. He had an unforgettable laugh...

Dear Christy Web and I are heartbroken to hear this and want you to know how much we have always loved you both. Sam was such a delight and seeing you two together always brightened our days. Such adoration he had for you and such joy you had for him. I just remember how fun and happy you were together. Laughing he would go along with anything!!! Please know we are sending love and hugs to you. All our love Missy and Web Lowder
