As a child he grew up attending Brown Grove C.M.E. Church. He loved the Lord and Bible studying. "May the work I've done speak for me”. This simple phrase is a summarized description of our beloved Sam. During Sam's dutiful tour on this earth, his work and loving personality was shared with many. Sam was well known and loved by everyone he met. Sam never met a stranger, only friends. He always made you laugh, selfless, loving, respectful and outgoing are just a few of many good words to describe him. Sam always had a smile on his face. He was a man that was very independent.
