    I graduated high school with Sammy. We played sports together – He threw a lot of passes my way in football. We were good friends in high school and drifted apart after graduation. I saw him several times and it was great catching up. Sammy will be missed and prayers go out to his family.

    I had the privilege of attending school with Sam and graduating with him in 1965. I also served with him several years in the Arkansas Army National Guard. And my mother worked with Sam at Cher-Don Lumber Co. years ago when Sam served as the manager. Sam was a born leader. His
    qualities of leadership were evident in his quarterback abilities on the football field, in the military, in civilian employment, etc. He left a legacy that will be long remembered. Our prayers continue for his family.
