Samples, Robert F - Evansville- Nov 2009
Robert F. Samples, 65, of Evansville, Indiana, passed away Saturday, November 14, 2009, at his residence.
He was born December 24, 1943, to the late Omer and Melva (Majors) Samples. Robert Samples, loving father and husband, died after a long hard fight with an illness.
He was a kind and loving father that never knew how to mistreat or have malice toward anyone.
He loved being with his family and helping others that were in need. His passions were his family, going to his beloved land in Kentucky, spending the day walking in the woods and driving his concrete truck before he retired. He retired from Evansville Concrete after a sudden accident on the job in 1994.
Our father and number one brother were always bigger than life to those that knew him. He was a man that felt life had something to teach us every day. His gentle way and smile will be missed, but the things he instilled in us all will go on.
He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Dianna; son, Robert; daughter, Kishianna; grandchildren, Jeremiah, Alexander, Theodore; adopted daughter, Margie A. Barnett and her 3 daughters. Brothers, Roy W. Samples and Mark T. Samples; and sister, Mary J. Jones, also survive.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Omer and Melva (Majors) Samples, and a brother, Joseph Samples.
Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. Friday, November 20, 2009, at Browning Funeral Home, 738 Diamond Ave. Burial will be held in Onton Cemetery, Onton, Kentucky.
Friends may visit 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday, November 19, 2009, at Browning Funeral Home.
Our Father requested that there not be flowers sent, but would prefer a contribution be made to the American Cancer Society , 6301 Old Boonville Hwy, Suite B, Evansville, IN 47715.
