Obituary

Samuel Clyde Bolles went to be with Our Lord on November 8, 2022.  Sam was born on November 15, 1930, in Maysville, Oklahoma to Samuel Dewey Bolles and Lela Lillian (Alston) Bolles, into their large family, having nine other siblings.

Sam worked as a commercial and residential painter and maintenance man for many years, retiring from the AdamsMark Hotel in 1995, but years later continued to work part time at the Crowne Plaza Hotel and painting houses.  Sam loved to fish, having many fish stories to always speak about, true or not.  His main passion was bowling.  He loved to brag about how he bowled on television in his younger days.  Sam was still bowling in a weekly league until the pandemic caused the bowling alley to close, thus stopping his passion.  He was known for his joke telling, his always pleasant demeanor and his sweet smile.

Sam is survived by his loving wife, Sharon Bolles; youngest brother, Paul Bolles; son, Larry Michael Bolles and wife Rosie; son, Rickey Bolles; daughter, Jane Gallagher and special friend Dave Woodall; stepdaughter, Jodi Hasty and special friend Jason Huffman; grandchildren, Eric Bolles and wife Tamar, Brock Bolles and wife Theresa, Kevin Gallagher, Shawna Brown and husband Eddie, Andrea Bolles, Ashley Walker and husband Glenn; step grandchildren, Kaytlynn Hasty and Corey Hasty; 6 great grandchildren; numerous nieces, nephews, friends and his spoiled (by him) loving dogs, Sammie and Buddy Boy.

He was preceded in death by his parents; 8 siblings, Glen, Jim, Harold, Juanita, Betty, Ruth, Ruby, and Flossie; great grandson, Zack Gallagher; great granddaughter, Tayler Dillon; spouse, Fama Bolles; and spouse, Faye Underwood.

Sam will be greatly missed by all who loved him so dearly.  May he rest in peace with our Heavenly Father.
