I had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Sam over the past few years and it truly saddens me he won't be sitting in his "seat" anymore. He would come for lunch with David almost everyday at Exxon, except for when he was in the deer woods. He was such a delight to everyone there, employees and fellow customers, always smiling and talking to everyone. He definitely made an impression on so many. I cannot express how deeply he will be missed. I send my thoughts and prayers to all of his family and loved ones. I am so sorry for your loss. He was one of kind for sure.
