Friend
Sammy and I went to Kenbridge High School together and he was smart and always entertaining. We lived about 7-8 miles apart and remained friends until after High School at which time he went into the military ( CV’s) and his young mind was challenged in a way he couldn’t accept and I believe discharged honorably. I lost close touch as he moved and married, divorced. He established his business in/around Mechanicsville VA. and apparently did well . I miss the Sammie that I grew up with and I pray God accepted his soul in heaven for a peaceful resting placed as his spirit remains in our hearts with our memories .
Church acquaintance
The last time I saw Sammy was at his brother’s wake at Crowder-Hite Funeral Home several years ago. My husband & I occasionally saw Sammy at Williams Church.
After his relocation, we lost contact..He was very involved in church activities at one time and offered much support to his brother. May he rest in peace.
