Sam, as he was known to family & friends, served in the USAF from Feb 1964 through Feb 1968. While stationed in Vietnam he was tasked with loading munitions into B-52’s. He was honorably discharged as a SGT and was awarded the National Defense Medal and the Vietnam Service Medal.
Sam worked at Vulcan Materials, a rock and cement business until his retirement. In his spare time he enjoyed outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing and camping.
