Samuel Wesley Bone

Just remembering all the great times we spent at Sam and Bettye's in Columbus (and with Gary and Kathy). I learned alot about football with Sam but wish I'd paid more attention to his agronomy lessons! Will miss Sam very much. Love, Janet

It was a pleasure and honor to care for Sam the last few months of this life. As a fellow Buckeye, we shared a lot of discussion about the football season. We also enjoyed talking about the weather and how it was affecting the farmers. Sam enjoyed hearing the Chicago commodity prices and was amazed that I could bring them up on my cell phone.
He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

What a great man, not to mention a special uncle. Your smiling face and wonderful sense of humor will keep in all of our hearts forever.

We will truly miss Uncle Sam at the Farm Science Reviews and the annual Bone Family Renuions. Wish I had asked alot more family history questions. Always appreciated his interest in the family genealogy and the wealth of knowledge he always was willing to share.
May the wonderful memories substain through this diffucult time.
Love Nancy Bone Mercer and Doug Mercer

Great Uncle Sam, you were an inspiration to many. Although our meetings were limited to the wonderful Bone family reunions, you always left a great impression on me. Quick with a smile and a story, you will be missed but not forgotten.

Uncle Sam,
Growing up & going to Grandad and Grandmas farm I remember you showing me around the different livestock. There were times that you thought that I was not moving fast enough so you took my hand and took off. My short legs couldn't keep up with yours and there I was with my legs straight out and air born.

Gary,Paloma,Kathy and Bob,
There are no words for a time like this but we wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We didn't see much of each other thru the years but I will never forget the Thanksgivings that we all shared when we were young. It was one of my fondest childhood memories . Love, Melanie, Darryl and Olivia

Sam was an excellent OSU Extension professional. I enjoyed working with him. He made a difference.

Great Uncle Sam. Though we did not see you often, you were thought of frequently. I especially remember the times we spent talking about our horses and the day we spent together at the NBHA State Finals when you came to watch our son Christopher compete. You left special memories that will never be forgotten. You will be missed.
