Victor Samples died approximately January 20 2015 in Colorado. About January 10th he fell in his bathtub and struck his head sustaining a brain aneurysm. Surgery was performed but he did not recover. A memorial service may occur sometime in the future and if so, information will be provided by email.
Beyond belief. Vic and I bought a '37 Ford together, in 1964, and tinkered away on that pile of junk for a year. Was there when his beautiful Mom died and witnessed Vic being strong for his Dad. Lost my HPHS class ring in his front yard playing football with Gary Gill & others. Drank many a quart bottle of Pabst with Vic - we somehow survived open containers and no seat belts! Vic was a charmer and a total babe magnet and I don't care how non-PC this may be. Love you, Vic. May the angels comfort you on your big journey.
I am saddened & shocked to hear about Vic. Even tho I haven't seen him for years there were times when he was in my thoughts for some reason or another thinking back to our high school days. My thoughts & prayers are with his family.
I am so sad to hear this news. Among so many other talents, Vic was a key part of a very successful gymnastic team during our senior year. Vic was our top high bar man and if memory serves me right, Vic, Bernie Koss and I all made the trip to the State championship meet at Wichita State University. I pray that Vic now rests in the true and certain promises of our God through Jesus Christ.
I am so sorry to hear about Vic' death. I am also quite shocked. He was so vibrant. I'll always remember the last reunion - Vic and a few others went to the Lazy Toad and danced, danced, danced. He will be missed.
Very sad to hear of Vic's death. Vic was a seasoned musician. I remember the good times we had playing with him in the band "Noyze Incorporated". We especially enjoyed playing for our classmates at the 1966 school talent show. We talked about our band experiences at the 45th. class reunion. I will miss Vic and his outgoing personality.
