I hope your mansion in the sky has a ten acre field with all the deer you could hope for and the biggest garden and satsuma trees around.
Life story

Sam was born and raised here in Covington, LA. He was a staple of the community, especially after being the manager for A&P for many years. He enjoyed all the basics of life as a country man including hunting, fishing, and gardening. He had the best stories and an even better work ethic, as long as it didn’t interfere with his naps. He loved to count his satsumas and work outside, as well as his classic corvette. He is missed deeply by those still here, especially by his son Sam Junior, but thought of often especially when his pecan pie is being passed around. Until we meet again we hope he’s got a Birds Eye view of all the great things we are still doing down here especially when we get to wear our camo.
