Dear Frances and Family,
Clark and I were best friends through 7 years of grade school at Campus Ward and one year of Jr. High before I moved to Sweetwater. I will always cherish the great play times we had at his big house on Mobberly St.
We kept in touch through high school but I hadn't seen him since until I recently ran into him at the clinic where he introduced me to his wife Frances. I was so overcome at seeing him that I could only say a few words before embarassingly choking back tears and leaving. I wish I could have stayed longer.
He has always had a special place in my fond memories and in my heart. My condolensces to Frances, Sally and the family.

Dear Mrs. Sample, Carol, Susie, Bob, and Don,
Richard and I were so sad to learn of Mr. Sample's passing.
He always had a smile on his face and a kind word for everyone. It didn't take long, after meeting him, to know how important God and his family were to him.
The people of Longview are so fortunate to have had Mr. Clark as a leader in our community. His kindness and love for Longview will never be forgotten.
Thank you for sharing him with us.##imported-begin##Richard and Sherry Molpus##imported-end##

I miss hearing Mr. Sample come up the stairs at work every day. I always knew it was him because he was the only one who always wore cowboy boots. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Melinda Compton##imported-end##
