| Notes |
- Samuel Henry was his parent's first son. He got the nickname 'Pat' while he was in the Army. He won a division championship in the Army Cavalry division for Roman riding, riding with one foot each on two horses. He and his wife owned horses and rode frequently.
Samuel worked as a sales rep for various companies. He was with Johns-Mansville in Omaha until his uncle Harry died, then took over his job with Johns-Mansville and had all the railroad accounts.
He traveled a lot, was outgoing, and invested a lot of energy into everything he did. He had a definite charisma and a distinctively deep crisp voice. He also was a heavy drinker and impulsive, spending his money as he made it. He would go out for a drink after work with business associates at the St. Paul Athletic Club and get carried away. He had friends and acquaintances far and wide.
Sam was generous with money and loved children. He taught Sunday School at St. Matthew's Church and taught children how to ride ponies at the fair grounds. He brought his sister, Evelyn's daughter, Marjorie, home to live with him when she was about 10 years old, but it only lasted about 10 months because Deane, his wife, wasn't ready for the responsibility. They never had any children of their own.
Sam's wife, Deane, was a professional piano player, playing in piano bars and with various bands. At age 75 she was playing in a Mexican band in Mpls. She was adventurous and athletic. She was famous for her rope trick; anyone could tie her up and she could get out in a matter of seconds. She was even able to do this when she had Alzheimer's. Art tells a funny story about a taping incident. One night when they were all at Deane's for dinner, she ran an errand and while she was gone, the whole crew talked about her shortcomings. Later in the evening she announced that she had forgotten to turn her tape recorder off from an earlier piano practice. They had to scramble to find the recorder and erase their remarks.
Sam joined AA and stayed sober for 12 to 15 years. during that time he traveled extensively, dedicating himself to the AA cause, starting up AA groups from here to the West coast. Sam died of a brain hemorrhage at age 59. He is buried at the Hillside Cemetery in Minneapolis.
He joined AA and stayed sober until he died, approximately 12 to 15 years. After saving himself with AA, he started AA groups from here to the West coast.
