Obituary.........................
SAMUEL OWEN GAMBLE
Sam Gamble, age 77, quietly passed away surrounded by loved
ones on March 17, 2017. His long struggle with diseases of the heart, lung and
kidneys were over. He was born in Ozark, AL to Lola and Horace Gamble on March
11, 1940. After graduating high school in Lanette AL; Sam attended GA Tech thus
graduating with a degree in Industrial Management. He served a tour of duty
with the U.S. Air Force becoming a military pilot flying F102s in Viet Nam.
After his tour, Sam became an Air Force instructor and was also in the Air
National Guard. With a dedicated love for aviation; he went on to have a career
as a Captain with Delta Airlines from 1970 until retirement in March 2000. He
was based in Houston, Chicago and Cincinnati; finishing his career flying the
B767/757. Following retirement to Gainesville Florida, Sam studied French,
philosophy and photography. His photography won awards in the Gainesville
newspapers. Sam’s thirsts for knowledge lead him to become a sommelier where he
taught wine classes in the Gainesville area. Ever the adventurer, Sam also
loved anything outdoors. He was an avid skier and loved hiking and camping in
the Rockies. He had an incredible zest for life. There wasn’t a party he
wouldn’t attend or host, fine wine he wouldn’t drink, a friend he wouldn’t help,
book he wouldn’t read, a gourmet meal he wouldn’t relish. Sam is missed by all
who knew him.
Survivors include his wife of 36 years Barbara Marsh Gamble,
son Russell Gamble and his wife Rachael and their two children Simon and
Rebekah, his daughter Claire Elizabeth Gamble, and his brother,
Gene.
