Samuel Francis Tart

I was so sorry to hear of Sam and his son John's death during Hurricane Katrina. Sam and I were classmates at West Jr. High back in the 1960's and I remember him as a really nice and funny guy. Please accept my condolences.

Sam, Nupe,
Great to have met you and your brother on or about 1988 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum at a frat function. I got the opportunity to talk to you and your brother John. You mentioned that you and my brother Paul Gipson were line brothers in KAY. I attended you guys step show in 1975 at JSU and you guys were sharp in all white with the hats. I will miss you brother Nupe. My prayers to your family.

John, my condolences to you and your family for the loss of your brother, Sam. I remember Sam from out band days at Gulfport High. He was a truly nice person and a talented musician. I see there was another family member lost also. My heart is heavy for you on this day.

To John, I was away at the time of the loss of Sam, and wanted to say that I'm deeply honored to have met and known such a smart and kind funny person as Sam was, he always had a smile and kind gesture about himself. Keep God in your hearts and prayers, stay strong and couraged. Bless you and your family. From Dorothy Johnson-Howe and family.

John & Gladys:
So sorry to hear of Sam's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this unfortunate time. May God Bless you.

I am an old friend of Sam's and just to know him was a joy. I send my deepest condolences for the loss of your family and keep you all in my prayers.

Sam I will miss you. I will pary for your wife and survivng children.

From my family to yours with our deepest sympathy. May God continue to keep you in the corner of his wings.

Farewell fellow nupe, I am so proud to have known you. I will always cherish the years at JSU and the time we pledged together. Someday we will all be free. Love GIPPER
