Our deepest sympathies go out to all family members of Sam & Frances. They worked with us on many film and commercial projects here in Charleston. They will be missed

We were sad to read the news of Sam's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Please know that Sam and Frances have a special place in our hearts. They were a BIG part of shaping our early years in the film business. Some of our most memorable and fun days were spent working side-by-side with them as extras.
They were extremely thoughtful when our brother passed away. Frances shared that she lost her brother when she was 26 years old, the same age I was at the time Kevin went home. Over the years Frances called from time-to-time to check on us, Sam was always in the background with a cheerful "Hello!"
Even when we were out of town she'd call to speak with our Dad. He enjoyed their conversations as much, if not more than we did.
They are deeply missed and will forever be remembered.
Most sincerely,
Martin Rersog

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father. He touched my life as a youth. Forty seven years later I still cherish the memory of his taking us to RA Camp and other church outings. I'll miss reading his occasional letters to the editor.
I know that you have many wonderful memories of him. I hope that you can find comfort in them during this difficult time.

Uncle Sam was a man of few words - but you could always trust - they were words of truth. He loved his family and they loved him.
As my mother, Florines Carter, told me Sunday evening when hearing about Uncle Sam - she said over and over - he was a wonderful brother - I will really miss him. Uncle Sam called her every week to check on her and she will truly miss his calls.
He lived a good life, loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and brothers and sisters and all family members.
He will be missed. Lynn Carter Gibson

Sam was my "pew" buddy for so very many years. I shook his hand the morning of his death. He said he missed Frances so much......they are finally back together. A quiet gentle giant will be missed very much. To the family.....our heartfelt sympathy for his passing. We will all miss him.
