There will be a private burial at Mountain View Church Cemetery with a celebration of life to be held at a later date. We are gathered here today in the memory of my brother, Darrell, so that together we may acknowledge and share both our joy in the gift that his life was to. Special thanks to Amedisys Hospice Shaunda Conley, Christy Bledsoe and Garrett Stroud special friend, Pauline Hankins and Tony Collins, his brother in Christ forever. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Dorothy Cline Samples daughters, Martha Malone (Dustin), Billie (Victor) Gulino, Lillian Samples grandsons, Chad Gulino, Brad Samples (Carri) sisters, Delcie Hylemon, Mary Morie brother, Junior Samples (Diane). Preceded in death by parents, Tosh and Bernice (Fox) Samples granddaughter, Tommi Samples brothers, Alvin Lee, Pie Tom, Edward (Delia), Bruce (Louise), Richard (Betty) Johnny, Joe (Velma) Samples sister, Loretta Samples brother-in-law, Shuck Hylemon. He was also a farmer and enjoyed breaking horses and mules. He was an avid singer for the Lord since he was saved. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. He was retired from Carson Newman College. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Missing My Little Brother By Michele Meleen I was supposed to protect him, to show him this life, to love him and tease him, cause and take away strife. My big brother now you are: still braver, still loving, still gone. BILL SAMPLES, age 85, of Rutledge, TN went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, at his home. My big brother when you died: you loved me, you left me, you hurt me.
