Sam was the past President of the Ferrel Park II Condo Association in Palm Harbor, and a former Jockey Agent at Tampa Bay Downs and other Thoroughbred Race Tracks across the country for over 40 years. Sam enjoyed golf, fishing, going to the track, but most of all just talking to people and telling a good “story” or two. In his later years, he enjoyed just getting in the car and taking a “ride” each day with Dottie.
