Birth name of Samuel. Called Samuel by my very godly Mother, as reference to the biblical prophet, Samuel. Call "Sam" by my Dad as a secular derivative of the biblical imperative.
Dad was very fond of saying this to me: " Sam is a manly name, so be one".
Roger that Dad. I became and remain a man. Taught the boy and now the grandson.
Miss the ol' man, tough as nails that he was.
