Read MoreI just stumbled on this. Sorry to hear of his loss. He was a great influence on me at Ferrum back in '79/'80. He introduced me to birding. When I decided to apply to Univ. of Montana after 2 years at Ferrum, he shared stories of his experiences in Montana. Sympathies to his family, colleagues, students.❤❤❤

My wife Trudi and I were saddened to hear of Sam's passing. I considered Sam a mentor of mine many years ago when we began our teaching careers at Ferrum College in the 70's. He will be missed.

I met Sam 30+ years ago at our hunting club in Bath Co. VA. I so enjoyed listening to his stories when we would come back from a hunt, not about the deer we were hunting but about all of the other critters he had seen. He new so much about the woods and all that live in it. He will be missed. All of his family is in my thoughts and prayers....
