Sam loved his work as an independent cotton linter broker. He was known as “Gentleman Sam” and his word was better than a written contract. He embraced life and enjoyed hunting, fishing, cards, dancing and most of all, playing golf with his friends at Lakewood Country Club. The family wishes to thank his caregiver, Vivian Haynes, “his angel”, for the Christian loving care and friendship she gave our dad in his last months.
