Pat and George Skinner and all of his golfing friends at the Pines Golf Course will miss Sam. Sam was a fun and outgoing guy and was near scratch golfer. He scored many hole in one's and he won many golf tournaments. His golf skills were admired by his competitors. We send prayers of support to his family and friends.

Sarah, Rick and I were so very saddened to hear of Sammy's passing. Since our days at Bassett High School, Sam was always a great guy, always so happy and smiling, and never had a bad word to say about any one. I remember seeing you both when you lived in the Buckroe Beach area when you first moved to Hampton - we were all just young folks starting our careers. Sammy was well loved by everyone who met him. He will be missed.
