Samuel J. Towle, 76, of Gorham, went home to the Lord on August 5, 2022. This date was predestined on the day He created him. He was born on December 30, 1945 in Lancaster, NH. Sam graduated in 1963 from Lancaster High School. He worked most of his life doing what he loved most, cutting wood. Sam spent many of those years working with his best friend and “brother”, Butch Rexford of Whitefield, NH. His last employment was at the family-owned Yokohama Restaurant, where he worked with his wife Laura. He was an Elder in the Word of God Christian Church for many years. Doing God’s work brought him the greatest joy and peace. Sam is survived by his wife and best friend, Laura Towle; their combined children, Veronica (Jeff) Tennis, Valerie (Bob) Fauteux, Vanessa (Richard) Kenison, Vespar (Ed) Duffy, and Bradford Anderson. He was blessed with 10 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents, Alfred and Hazel Towle, brothers, Albert and “Baby” Towle, and son, C. Wade Anderson. A funeral service will be held on Friday August 12, 2022 at 10 AM at the Word of God Christian Church, 11 Hill Road, Dummer, NH. Interment will be in the Hillcrest Cemetery, Milan. Relatives and friends may call on Thursday August 11, 2022 from 5 to 8 PM, at the Bryant Funeral Home, 1 Promenade St. Gorham, NH.
