1955-10-10 2005-05-26
Sam W. Finger of Austin, Texas, died Thursday, May 26, 2005 at the age of 49.
Sam was born in Austin, Texas on October 10, 1955 to Albert Willis Finger and Mary Bernadine (Droppleman) Finger. He is preceded in death by his father, Willis Finger and uncle, Bernard Droppleman.
Sam was widely known for his commitment to longstanding friendships and serving the public for 25 years as the owner of Finger Towing Service. Those who knew Sam could count on him to be there right away and to give of himself when they needed anything. He is known for his generosity, his smile and laughter and always having a story to tell. His wife, children, mother and other family members know they are loved by him and hold precious memories of Sam tightly within their hearts. This tragic loss will be felt for a long time and reaches places in the heart where words to describe the pain cannot be recalled.
Sam is survived by his wife, Jo Anne Finger; children, Brandi Elyse Finger, Samuel Bryson Finger; mother, Mary Finger; brother, John Finger and wife, Barbara; niece, Katie Mendoza and husband, Mark; nephew, Weston Finger; and great-niece, Annabella Grace Mendoza. He will be greatly missed by many other family members and friends too numerous to mention.

Sam, from popping wheelies biking to and from Lucy Read Elementary to countless sand lot football games at Northwest Park, it was a blast growing up with you. May you rest in peace.
