My grandpa was a great man. If you had ever met him he would treat you like a long lost friend. He made everyone around him feel special. He showed me what uncondisnal love was. No matter what stupid thing I did he would tell me it would get better. I will miss him for a long time and so will my daughter. We both say Love Mountian Papa.

When I meet Sam 29 years ago, I meet a formadable man. He was strong and set. Over the years we didn't always agree but we grew to respect each others oppenion. He was strong and set to the end. I will miss his thoughts and oppenions now that he is gone. I'm sure the Lord will welcome him into the fold, and I'm sure they will have some lively discusions. We all miss ya Dad.

I didn't know Sam that well, but he was an outstanding human being. I never heard him say not one bad thing about anyone every, and I really looked up to him, as someone that I wished I could be more like.
