Samuel was a kind hearted person who would do anything for people. He never met a stranger. Samuel was affectionately known as "pops". He enjoyed bowling, playing cards, especially Bid Whist, and going to cabarets. Back in the day he enjoyed having people over to his home for cookouts. Samuel loved soul food and was very picky about what he ate. He would definitely let you know if he didn't like something you gave him. His favorite restaurants were Bob Evans, O'Charley's, Red Lobster and BJ's.
