I'd like to extend my condolences to the family for their loss. During such times, the bible can give comfort and a real hope for the future. Please note the words of First
Corinthians 15:21,22-"For since death came through a man, resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For just as in Adam, all are dying so also in the CHRIST, all will be made alive..."

Francis and Family,
Sorry for your loss, Jan and I enjoyed Sam very much and our time together at "HOBO CAMP" laughing & visiting. I enjoyed talking with Sam about his SHEEP as I was raised on a SHEEP ranch in Idaho.
Love.....LYN & JAN BENSON

We are so sad to hear that Sam passed. He was a kind, giving man. He was so wonderful to my children, always giving advice and helping them to find lambs for the livestock shows. He even allowed our ewe's to come to his farm to be bred. He was that person that when you saw him, you really felt happy. He will truly be missed.

I will miss Sam, he was quite the character. Ornery but told it like it was. I so much liked this about him. God Speed, Sam.
