He was an Member of the Houston Bar Association and the Brazos County Bar Association. His believed that his most important affiliation was his relationship with Jesus Christ and truly believed that his job as an attorney was the role of a "parakletos, one who comes beside you and brings counsel. He was a member of First Baptist Church in Bryan for 20 years and a was now a member of Little River Baptist Church in Jones Prairie, Texas which had become very dear to his heart as well. Please remember Sam, when the Aggies kick off and the Astros are at the plate, it was the nearest he could get to heaven on earth. Hillier Funeral Home
