It is with great sorrow that we share the passing of our beloved former colleague, Earnie Sams, who left us this morning, March 31st. Earnie was an integral part of the team and family for more than 50 years, and his contributions to Paul Miller were invaluable. Earnie joined us on May 26, 1969, and quickly became known for all the help he gave to Mr. Miller and how he cared so much for Paul Miller and our Paul Miller family. Earnie retired from Paul Miller in April of 2020 and during his time with us, he not only excelled in his professional duties but also fostered a warm and welcoming atmosphere among customers and colleagues. As we reflect on the many memories so many of us shared with Earnie, we are reminded of the joy and passion he brought to our workplace, and for the love so many of our employees had for him and his family. Earnie, we will be forever proud to call you part of our Paul Miller family.
