Sammy was my closest Grimsley classmate and a dear friend. From the time we met at Kiser in 1965, Sammy took it upon himself that no one made a racial slur or an off the cuff remark to me unless the person wanted to suffer the consequences of his rath. We were friends as children and friends as adults. I miss him terribly, but I am not without hope that I will see him again one day.

I didn't know Sammie very well at school, but based on James Avent's comment Sammie sure lived a life worth living.

Sammy was cool in school (he once was in on the theft of the Pirate Ship's anchor) and was already too much his own person to have been anything less as an adult.  He is the kind of person the world misses when they are gone.

Sammy was my friend.     He was always kind to me and was truly a very happy person.  I still remember  him dancing away at our 20th (or 25th ?) reunion.  What a great guy...... I am so happy to know that he has a son and grandchild.

Sammy and  were reunion friends. We had several days every reunion year that we enjoyed each other's company. I will really miss those times. I know that he enjoyed Jake's diner after the reunions. Maybe we will meet again at Jake's someday. Love you, Sarah
