My condolences to the Mobly Family on the loss of Sammie. He was a good man that worked hard to take care of his family and contribute to his community. Sam was blessed with a wonderful family and they were blessed to have him.

In the early 1970s I worked with Sam at the MHS Sports Fieldhouse, where we both took pride in making our football field the best looking turf in the area. It was hard work at times, but we enjoyed it too.

As I remember it, Sam loved his coffee and would have a cup, or two, or three, or…..all day long. Maybe that's why he was so jittery at times.

Sam taught me how to pitch quarters. Rather, I should say he'd pitch quarters and I'd donated, because Sam usually won. After winning a pitch, I can still hear Sam say “Ooh right…!” Then he'd laugh, shake/rattle his pocket full of quarters, and say “wanta go again?”…… If they allow pitching quarters in Heaven, I'm sure Sam will be the winner more times than not. However, watch out Sam because I've been practicing. I'll see you again someday, so be ready to pitch some quarters....

I'm glad I had opportunity to speak with Sam a few weeks ago by telephone. Because he was feeling so poorly we only spoke for a minute or two, just long enough to share a laugh together. It was good to hear him laugh. I hung up the phone knowing that through it all, Sam still hadn't lost his sense of humor.

May God continue to bless and watch over the Mobly Family…..

You will be so missed, Sam! Doug & I met you in 1978...I remember how you used to give April M&M's and a coke at all of the MHS basketball games! You always had a smile on your face and hugged my neck! You were loved by many! See you in Paradise!!

Because of Him, the Satterlee's
