Samuel Kenneth "Sam" Alexander Jr.

Sammy was my father's friend from their high school days. During his high school years, he along with other boys traveled to an out-of-state location (don't remember where) and drove a newly purchased bus to Topeka for the Scott Jayhawk Bus Line. He was probably the funniest adult I knew while growing up, once jokingly telling me that my auto insurance would probably be cheaper if I took the raccoon tail off my antenna. Sammy gave me some very responsible jobs when I was at an age when...

Dear Alexander family,
I'm sad to think that Sammy isn't among us anymore. He was a sweetheart. I loved riding from the Zimmermans' 4th-of-July picnic to the fireworks at the club in Sam's convertible! Reading about his passing reminds me of the Wigwam group and all the great stories I heard from my mom & dad. It's the end of an era.

Although I didn't know Sam personally, I frequently saw him at McFarland's Restaurant as it was a favorite hangout for each of us. Sam always gave me a nod of recognition and slight smile when he saw me. I will miss seeing him there. May God Bless Sam and his family.

Ken and Kevin
Sorry for your loss, the Chairman well be missed by all.
Best Regards,

Dear Ken and Kevin,
You have my sincere sympathy. Your dad was one of the great ones. I always considered him a friend and enjoyed his light banter when negotiating a CD rate at the bank or playing golf with him. I'll always remember his drives off the 17th tee. He always hit out over 27th street and drew it back to the fairway. Sometime when the draw didn't work he muttered that he was taking the short cut to Baughman's Ice Cream Factory. I enhoyed visiting with him recently at...

Dear Ken and Kevin,
So sorry for the loss of your Dad. What a loss for your family, but also to our community. We will never forget when our Dad closed the Jordan Sunbeam Bakery, Sam hired most all of his employees. Dad was forever grateful to Sam!! What a kind and generous person he was to everyone.
Perhaps, they are back discussing the "bread business."

With our deepest sympathy to both of you and the Alexander family.
