Sam and I worked together at Roller Owens. I cannot think of anyone I admire and respect more than Sam. He always had a smile and wonderful sense of humor. My condolences to his family.

It has be a very distinct honor to have be a fellow worker with Sam at Roller Funeral Homes. He has always exhibited all the qualities of a caring, honest, dedicated funeral service perfessional. He was surely a wonderful example of a fine Christian man.

It was a blessing to have known Mr. Sam. He was always so kind, positive and always had a quick smile to give. I know his dear wife was part of the celebration party welcoming him home.
