Samuel Edwin Bakke

Dearest Debbie,
I want you to know how very sad and sorry I am to hear about your Sam. I will never forget all the fun times we shared. He was a precious man, and I know you had a wonderful life together. Please know that I'm thinking of you and your family.

I am in total shock hearing about the passing of my long time friend Sam. We shared many fun times together. My deepest condolences to Debbie, Samantha and the entire family.

Prayers and thoughts are with all of Sam's loved ones every single day.

My deepest sympathies to Debbie, Samantha, Slammer and the grandchildren on Sam's passing.

Sam was my "Little Brother" in Theta Tau Upsilon at Trinity, and I remember him as a vibrant, happy, witty, funny, and incredibly intelligent young man.

I still have, and cherish, the fraternity paddle he made for me as his Big Brother. We had many, many interesting conversations, and tipped quite a few beers together. I called him "Small" and he called me "Big."

He was a dapper...

I worked with Sam while I was in sales at Suddenlink in Abilene, TX. I am so sorry to hear of his passing! My prayers are with his family & friends.

I will remember the laughter, the giggles, the guffaws, the chuckles, chortles and snickers...he was a great audience for my often tale of woe that he just knew had to have a punch line and so we would talk until one of us could come up with it. I sought him out in crowded rooms and we would make up stories about everyone else...don't ask. I will miss this fellow passenger on our space ship. peace & love

This is a shocker-last saw Sam at the big reunion in San Antonio in '06. He was pretty much the same guy, always a good friend and brother.
My condolences to his family.

Byron and Lanette Tuck and all of us at Simon Energy Associates, LLC wish to express our sincere condolences for your loss.
