Alto, TX Tuesday, July 21, 2026 Sam was one of a kind. We had many conversations over the years, from cattle to kids to God. I always enjoyed our time together because he had so many interesting stories of his life. He will always hold a special place in my heart because he was such a wonderful Grandaddy to my children. He loved his grandchildren and they loved him! Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with each of you!
