Whereas, he was employed by the Coastline Railroad of South Carolina, Drexel Heritage Furniture in Kingstree, Georgia Pacific in Russellville as a machine operator, and Redmond-Richardson Funeral Home as a driver; he also owned and operated a lawn-care service in Salters; and
Whereas, in 1968, he became a member of Central Baptist Church in Salters, active as a choir member, sexton, and church treasurer; and he was ordained as a deacon in 1969; and
Whereas, he served his community as a poll worker on election days and was a surrogate father to many in the community and a friend to all; and
Whereas, together with his beloved wife of fifty-nine years, the former Hermener Addie Moore, he reared seven devoted sons and one loving daughter, who have blessed them with eighteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the loving legacy that Sam Gamble, Jr., has left and for the honesty, integrity, and diligence of this son of the Palmetto State. Now, therefore,
