Betsy and Sam, Deborah and I extend our deepest sympathies to you both as you deal with the loss of Sam. The death of a dear brother is a heartbreaking experience. I had the pleasure of knowing Sam during my first year at E&H. I do remember his smile and a kind word to a lowly freshman. We send our love to you both and will keep you in our hearts and prayers during this trying time. David & Deborah

Growing up on College Street in Marion ment having multiple parents on the block. Sam was the dad who kept an eye on us, yet also had time to have fun in the back yards. Growing up with Ann, Matt and Zach, we could count on Sam for advise too. Ann, Matt and Zach- my heart goes out to you all in your loss. No words can describe my feelings learning this news of his sudden passing. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. Love to you all. - Julie

Dear Matt, Zach, and Ann: I remember Sam Hambrick so fondly. He was my first brother-in-law and as such will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a wonderful friend to me and Dean, welcoming our family into your Chilhowie and then Marion home numerous times especially during the summer when the kids were all young. My daughter Laura will always remember Uncle Sam as her special uncle. Though years have melted away and changes in relationships took place, nothing will erase my treasured memories of your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you adjust to this sudden and sad loss. Aunt Joy

Dear Hambrick family, My condolences go out to you all. Twenty years ago, I was blessed to spend a lot of time around Sam, while hanging out with his boys as they grew up. He was a pleasure to be around and a role model to me. The community lost a good man with his passing.

Mr. Hambrick was first my principal at Oak Point School in Adwolfe. Almost twenty-five years later he would become the first principal I worked for as a teacher. He was always an encouraging and enthusiastic supervisor. Both my children had the privilege of having Mr. Hambrick as their first principal. Tanner learned very quickly that if he got into trouble and was sent to the office all he had to do was ask Mr. Hambrick if he had caught any fish lately. Tanner would leave the office half an hour later with a big fish tale and a quick reminder to behave. We will surely miss our dear Mr. Hambrick. Our sincerest condolences go out to Cathy and the family.

Mr. Hambrick was my principal for fourteen years at Sugar Grove. The first year I worked there I learned that my father only had seven months to live. Mr. Hambrick told me to take whatever time I needed to spend with my Dad. I've never forgotten that great kindness.

I am so shocked and saddened to learn of Mr. Hambrick's sudden passing. We first met while he was the principal at Sugar Grove School. My job required me to visit the school monthly and he was always kind and gracious. I have a nice memory of him trying to give me directions - very patiently - to Mt. Rogers School on Whitetop Mountain when I had no idea where I was going! I will miss seeing his friendly smile at church. My deepest condolences to the entire family.
