Sam was the consummate southern gentlemen and a great Dad. We met around 1980 when I was just 17 and Mark's college roommate. Sam and Marlene welcomed me into their home (week after week) as Mark and I would often make the short trip from Gainesville for the great food (usually bar-b-q), fishing and fun. One of my favorite memories was my weekend adventure with Sam & Mark Scalloping in Crystal River. We loaded up the boat and trekked to the Coast where Mark & I spent hours diving for these tiny shellfish -- as Sam cheered us on. After filling two big coolers and ALOT of Scallop shucking, we enjoyed Marlene's Scallop Scampi feast - one of the best meals EVER. I was fortunate to share great times with Sam - like Salmon fishing in British Columbia. He always treated me like I was one of his own and his kind words and his gentle way will be missed.
