Samuel R. Pillow

Sam is a dedicated servant of our Almighty Creator. Theresa speaks of 'the Bible Study', which I led. Sam was a faithful attendee and willing participant, always in an ATTITUDE of prayer.

Just about 9 years ago, I had a minor accident which made me unable to lead the Bible Study for about 2 months. I asked him, when he came to visit me in hospital, if he could take over the study in my absence. He was MORE than able [or I would not have asked], but humble enough to ask if I really thought he could handle it. A man as sold out to his Maker as Sam was could not be MORE qualified.

It won't be VERY long before we see him in the Messianic Kingdom, and I am SURE that he will be a leading servant of our King in it. It is my hope to somehow approach his standing in our Master.

Let me add my condolences to his family over their loss, as I add them to everyone who knew him.

SUCH a servant!

It was truly a pleasure to have known Sam. He added so much to our Bible Study. His smile, laughter and joy were contagious and he challenged us to study God's word more and pray fervently. He will be greatly missed here but I know we will see him again in heaven. Even so, I will be praying for comfort and peace for the family as you go through this difficult time.

I didn't know Mr. Pillow personally, but every time our paths crossed at the Chapel, the Joy of his Salvation shown through in his smile and loving greeting. Rest well, good and faithful servant!

Mr pillow was a kind, sweet, gentle man. I worked at the chapel and saw him often. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a smile. I'm sad for his loved ones.

Sam, you were a very special person, full of knowledge and love for Adonai. I always loved being around you. You will be deeply missed. -- Precious in the Sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

A Beloved prayer warrior & brother-in-the-Lord. Rest well in the arms of our Lord and all the saints.

I've always loved Sam's beautiful smile and sincere eyes each Sunday at the Chapel. I can only stream the service now, but what a Dear Man! Hugs to all four family!!

A humble and prayer-filled man. He was highly respected and valued as a prayer warrior. So very grateful I got to know Sam and serve alongside him. My condolences to the family.

Mark, sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

Mark, sorry to hear about your father. Prayers for you and your family.

Mark - Your father sounded like a wonderful person. I wish you and your family peace during this difficult time.

I admired Mr. Pillow very much. I was fortunate to have him as client of my company, Parker Typing Service, for many years until 1915 when my husband passed and I became ill. I thoroughly enjoyed his visits and typing his National Day of Prayer program.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I knew Sam from my days on the Hill, way back when...Such a good, smart, gentle, funny guy. Have missed him, lo' these many years...My heart goes out to Mark and Lisa and family.

Our family has known Sam and his family for more than 40 years. On behalf of my mother Patricia and myself, we express our deepest sympathy to Mark and Lisa.

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.

SAM WAS A TRUELY A FAITHFUL FOLLOWER OF CHRIST. A TRUE INSPIRATION!

PRAYER IS THE KEY & FAITH UNLOCKS THE DOOR
SAM PILLOW
Made the business of Prayer a daily discipline and even after he lost his sight he never missed a beat. The word of God was written on the tablets of his heart and his prayers continued with a greater fervency than ever.
Sam was a faithful coordinator for THE SUMMIT COUNTY NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER which was the first Thursday in May.
Sam made the first Thursday of every month a Summit County Day of Prayer at the Haven of Rest in Akron, Ohio and was FAITHFUL.
Over 965 Churches and Christian Ministries plus thousands of men, women and children have participated in prayers over the years. It seems that every believer in Summit County knew Sam or knew about him. He was an unsung hero who requested NO OBITUARY, NO FUNERAL

THANK YOU OUR BELOVED BROTHER
AND
FRIEND FOR A LIFE WELL LIVED!
GOD LOVES YOU AND WE LOVE YOU!
