I just found out that Sammy had completed his fight and finished his race valiantly. He's always been a kind, considerate man taking care of his customers. I met him in 1993 and I followed him with every move he made. I truly miss our visits at the dealership. He loved his family immensely and our last conversation, he was waiting on the new grand baby to come. I'll continue to pray for God's strength and comfort for his family.
I met Sammy 25 years ago. First at the dealership and then realized our sons were at st. Pius together. While I know this may not be true, I felt like my family and I was his favorite Lincoln client. He watched out for us; he always had a smile for me; he was always truthful and gracious. He’d call when he hadn’t heard from us for a while. When times were so tough on my family he’d reach out. He’s an angel in heaven. I’m mad at him tho. He promised he’d reach out if he was taking a turn for the worse - I’m sure he said that to all his clients. So I forgive him. I would have dropped everything in my life to be there to pay my respects. I’ll always include him in my prayers on 4/14 which is also the day my mother died. And he was laid to rest on my son’s birthday. Sammy was the most gracious and humble person I’ve ever known. Always a smile, always joyous. Heaven is lucky to have him. I will miss him.
We followed Sammy to each Lincoln dealership he moved to. What a wonderful character and friend.
Sammy your a friend and a great inspiration. We will miss you. Joe and Katherine
Q: What will you miss most about Samuel?
A: Sammy was a dear friend who took care of business. He always took my call, he listened and offered positive suggestions. I will truly miss him greeting me at my car and calling me with the updates. We often swamped grand kid stories, always with a smile and laughter. He left no stone unturned to make sure my needs were met. Rest well my friend, you fought a good fight, now take you rest until we meet again.
Q: What will you miss most about Samuel?

Sammy was a good friend for a long time and will be in my heart forever. His cheerful presence was welcomed by all who knew him.
Jackie’s Kitchen offers our condolences to you at this sorrowful time. We send our healing prayers and comforting hugs as Sammy has gone to be with our Lord. We love and miss you all.
The Vandever family sends our love to Lisa, Sammy, Jr. & Nicki, Nick & Shirlene, Matt & Megan and all the grands. We will forever miss Sammy and hold close to our hearts all the wonderful times we spent together. Whether it was walking the streets of our neighborhood (our lame attempt at exercising), eating countless pounds of crawfish; many pasta Sundays, hurricane parties, football or baseball games, rodeos, lake house, Frio, our kids weddings, birthday dinners or just because dinners, Sammy always made our time together feel special. He loved my boys and they loved and respected him.
I will always be in awe at the courage he showed us all during his battles with cancer. He always asked that we take care of Lisa and not worry about him. He stayed strong in his faith and loving until the end.
Rest In Peace my dear friend and enjoy your well earned eternal rewards.
Love you always,
Margaret Vandever, Matthew, Michael & Kristian, Emilia & Isabella
I had the privilege to know Sammy both as a customer and as a long-time counsel and advisor to both Southwest Lincoln-Mercury and West Point Lincoln. He was a loyal, faithful, and capable employee and friend. I offer mine and my family’s deepest sympathy for your loss and our prayers for your comfort and eventual recovery. May God bless his memory.
Steve Underwood and family
