Ricky and Terri Allen(bug) We are so glad to have spent time with Sam Pate we will truly miss him. we will keep the family in our prays

Mr. Pate was a huge part of my high school experience from 1982 to 1986 at Brookstone School. Not only did we share a huge passion for the natural world, but his presence provided a safe haven protecting me from the challenges of adolescence.

Mr. Pate and I went on wildlife watching trips together, whether in groups or just the two of us. We visited Cumberland Island, Wakulla Springs, St. Marks, Eufala, etc.

He and Mrs. Nan Pate welcomed me into the yearbook staff, providing me with an outlet for my love of writing and layout. I remember long days with them giggling and laughing with other staff when deadlines loomed and we were tired and silly.

Each time I see a bird or other natural wonder, I think of Sam Pate. I hadn't spoken with him in more than 20 years, but he was and always will be close to me in my thoughts.

My most profound sympathies to the family of Mr. Pate. May the angels speed him to his rest.

Me. Pate was one of the best teachers at HHS in the 70's. I loved his classes, his travel stories, his comedic personality and life's lessons he shared. I've never forgotten him all these years! Although he's not with us, he now has a new birth date. I will see you in Heaven Mr. Pate. I can't wait to share my stories with you.
