SAMMY SERVED WITH ME ON THE LOUISIANA CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION MORE THAN 45 YEARS AGO. I ALWAYS ENJOYED LISTENING TO HIS HUMOROUS STORIES. SAMMY WOULD SOMETIMES START A HUMOROUS STORY AND TURN IT OVER TO CHALIN FOR THE CONCLUSION. IF SAMMY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REPRESENTING HIS PEOPLE, HE WOULD HAVE REPLACED JOHNNY CARSON WHEN HE RETIRED. I WILL MISS SAMMY SO MUCH AND PRAY FOR HIM. EARL SCHMITT, ELECTED DELEGATE FROM ALGIERS AND FRIEND OF
SAMMY.

So sorry to hear of cousin Sammy's passing. Everytime I met Sam he was smiling and would recall Grandma Wade's remarks when he was a young man. He never forgot his roots or the old people.He always asked me about my dad, Leo Nunez. Our thought and prayers go out to his family.
