Born May 1st, 1943 in Olive Hill, Kentucky to Noah and Hazel (Parsons) Sammons, he grew up in Ohio where he graduated high school and attended The Ohio State University.

Sam loved to spend a lot of time with his family, traveling in his RV and visiting all 50 states, walking every morning to the Nokomis Beach, playing pickleball and taking cruises. Later in life, he learned to play guitar and wrote his own songs for Carol.
