Sam was one of the teenagers at 10th Ave and 21st Street in Huntington. There are many memories. Much time was spent at his home on 16th Street. The last time I saw him was when we brought Vel Bradley to the worship in Barboursville. He was a man of God and was a blessing to all who knew him. I am sorry to hear of his passing. God's blessings on the family.
