Considering the age of Sam&#8217;s classmates and the wishes of Sam&#8217;s family, Sam&#8217;s wife Linda decided on a small family funeral, which had been Sam&#8217;s preference. Sam was buried next to his Mom in Ashland, Kentucky, on Thursday, March 16, 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Well done, Sam. Be Thou At Peace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Linda wishes to have a Memorial Service for Sam attended by his friends and classmates. Highlighting Sam&#8217;s gracious and incomparable contributions to our golf group over the years will be a most fitting event in conjunction with this year&#8217;s Class of &#8217;60 Myrtle Beach (MB23) golf outing in October. The service is planned for late afternoon on Tuesday, October 17, 2023 in Myrtle Beach, time and place to be announced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Memorial Service will also be announced through the Class of &#8217;60 network and AOG. We expect a big turnout for this occasion, to celebrate Sam&#8217;s wonderful life and accomplishments, and his many noteworthy contributions to our Class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Grip Hands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">John Nix<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Classmates:\u00a0 The wait list for Sam to be buried at Arlington grew to more than 16 months.
