As a young boy, he worked on the farm alongside his dad who was blinded in World War I.

He graduated from Cairo High School with the class of 1957.

Sam had experience in a few fields of work throughout his long life. He worked as a truck driver, mechanic, farmer/rancher and in general could do about anything he decided to do.

When he moved to Kingman, Kansas, he married his wife, Erika on October 21st, 1989. Together, they made their home on a farm where he loved to play music and take care of their livestock and animals. The couple moved to Caney, Kansas, to be closer to family in 2019.

As well as the apples of his eye, 29 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren and 4 great great-grandchildren.

Sam was a proud member of the Nazarene church for over 26 years.

He thoroughly enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren play sports and their musical instruments.

Sam will be sorely missed by his family, but they look forward to the day they will again enjoy praising and worshipping the Lord with a bit of guitar music.
