Condolences and prayers for the entire White family, but especially for Mrs. White, our good friends, George and Renee, and their children. Sam was quite a man, and he will be dearly missed. I loved his tales of escapades on the farm. One of my favorites was him in his Chevy Luv pickup having a butting contest with a bull. Never knew for sure who won; the bull went to market and the Luv stayed in the field for awhile, if I remember right. So many memories from almost 97 years of life! May God bless and comfort the entire family.
