Jane, I just found out. I am so sorry about Sam. , Sam was 11 years older than I both born on May 18th and as you know lived across the street.  It's hard to believe that we are all getting to an age that we are hear today and gone tomorrow. Again , I am sorry for your loss .

Janie & family - There are no words right now. Sam was humor, humility & bigger than life and, not to mention, talented with the artist's brush. We will have his colorful paintings to enjoy and that is our good fortune.

Janie our heart breaks for your loss. 
Sam was beloved by everyone and we consider ourselves fortunate to have known him and counted him as a friend. I do not think any other person so afflicted could have faced his enemy with such bravery, heart, and smiles. He is no ordinary hero, but one who has earned a hallowed place. We will miss him but we are oh so glad to have had him in our lives and as part of our memories. With deepest sympathy and love, Mary and Ike

Janie,
My heart goes out to your and your family at this sad time.  Sam was one of the nicest people I ever had the privilege to meet.  He was always smiling and seemed so very happy all the time.  He cared about people and it showed in his actions.  I loved the time I spent with him at Yeager Airport.  He was always asking questions and I loved that.  So many people are afraid to ask and he was never intimiated. He was just bigger than life. I know that he loved you and his family.  He always spoke so lovingly of you.  You were lucky that you got to celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary together, because I didn't get to with my late husband. Your happy memories will sustain you in the days to come.  Hope to see you sometime in the future.

Janie my prayers are with you and your loving family.

Martha and I will deeply miss Sam. Evertyone who knew him loved him. 
 His career was a series of major accomplishments starting with his becoming an eagle scout. That fact I didn't know but I do know he was a great guy and he and Jane were fun to be around. 

Words fail me Jane, we are sorry for your loss.

Janie,
Marty and I are so sorry to learn that Sam lost his brave battle with cancer. I have so many fond memories of Sam at Virginia Tech as well as the both of you in more recent years. Visiting with you two in Maryland, in Blacksburg, and here in Florida will always be great memories. We will certainly miss him. Our prayers are  for you and your family. We will be thinking of you all in this difficult time.
Our sincere condolences,
John and Marty Neal

Sorry for the loss of your dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Xo

Janie, I am so sorry to hear that Sam has lost his long battle with cancer.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family with wishes for peace, serenity and happy, loving memories.  Love, Susan

Jane, Julie & Jill, my prayers are with you in this time of mourning.  Sam was a good man and treated everyone with respect.  I will miss his visits to the bank and seeing him at the golf course.  What a great sense of humor he maintained through all of his medical issues, never feeling sorry for himself.  Amazing.  Charleston has lost a leader and friend.

Janie, Julie and Jill,  My Thoughts are with you today and all the days to come.       Sam was a special person!   Love,   Cindy (Taylor) Johnson

Janie and family, we send sincere sympathy for your loss.

Janie,
I am so sorry to hear about Sam.  You have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Janie,
My condolences to you your family at this very difficult time. Hoping you'll find comfort in memories of happy times together.
With deepest sympathy for your loss,

Janie,  We are very sad to hear of the passing of Sam.  I know we have lots of wonderful memories of the both of you.  So happy we were able to spend time with you in Florida.  If you need anything let me know.  Hope to see you soon.

Janie, Jill  & Julie:

Becky and I share in your loss.  Sam was a great friend, confidant, and above all the super needler. He was so giving of his time on the boards we shared but he wouldn't cut you a break on the golf course.  When he was ready to putt it was "It's you and me Lord" and now it is. Great memories.  Our best to you and we're there for you.

Bob and Nancy Douglas extend our most sincere sympathy and condolences to Janie, Julie, Jill and all of the Bowling family.  Sam was our loving and dear friend.  We will miss his gracious smile and friendly manner. Charleston has lost a loyal and dear friend.

Janie and family: We are deeply saddened to learn of Sam's passing. He fought a great fight for 35 years against his cancerous opponent and never did we hear a complaint from him; he was our hero and will be missed greatly. I can still hear him refer to me as "Ricklis" as we traversed the ski slopes. Our sympathies go out to Janie at this difficult time. Our hearts are filled with wonderful memories of an outstanding individual......with love,    Rick and Elizabeth

Janie, Julie, Jill and all the family.  My heart goes out to each and everyone of you in this trying time.  Sam was such a wonderful person, but you all know that better than anyone else.  When I remember Sam, I remember kindness and strength.  Since I first met Sam in 1996, I can say I never remember seeing him without a smile.  God bless you all!  He has surely blessed me with the pleasure of knowing Sam.  Love and prayers.  Ruth Bowe (DCI)

Jane and family. 
Sorry to hear that Sam is no longer with us except in all the wonderful memories of a very special friend. We are very grateful of the time we spent together at Sandy and Garth's.  Our love to all of you and if there is anything we can do just let us know.  Love Marty and Gary  gary.caylor@hotmail.com
