Sam grew up in Vancouver, where he became an avid outdoorsman and skier eventually owning Skyline Sports and later opening Sam Bennett's Ski & Sport in Portland, Oregon. He spent many days flying his Super Cub to fish and hunt in remote locations and particularly enjoyed his trips to Canada. Sam became an Eagle Scout and credited Boy Scouts with shaping his values. He is survived by his wife Ruth, with whom he shared 37 adventurous years. Memorial service: December 3, 2025, 10:30am at Open House Ministries, 900 W 12th St. Vancouver, WA
