As his journey with the Lord continued, Samuel was led to Triedstone Church of Chicago, where he deepened his wall( with God and commitment to God's purpose.

His insight, resourcefulness, and ability to navigate life's challenges stood as a true reflection of his intelligence, strength of character, and enduring legacy.

Later he found enduring love and companionship with his beloved wife, Bobbie Jean Bragg, with whom he shared sixty-four beautiful years of marriage. Together, they raised three children and built a home rooted in faith, love, integrity and strong values. Samuel cherished his role as a husband and father. He believed in the importance of hard work, leaving a meaningful legacy, and personal accountability principles he lived by and instilled in his children.
