SAMUEL MAURICE DANNER
Graveside services for Samuel Maurice Danner, 98, of Palacios, were held Oct. 13, 2007 at Hawley cemetery in Blessing with Rev. June White officiating.
Mr. Danner was born in Thomas, Oklahoma on April 30, 1909. He died Oct. 10, 2007.
He was 1 of 6 children born to the late Lillie B. and Henry L. Banner. He married
his high school sweetheart, Opal Joyce Cooke right after their high school graduation and they remained in love for 63 years before she died of cancer. He later married
Lurlie McCall, but they only enjoyed being together for 10 years before she died.
Sam, as he was called, went to work in the gasoline recycling industry shortly after his marriage where he made several moves before coming to Texas to work for H. B. Zachery at the plant located in Deutschburg called Francitas Gas Plant. In the early 1950’s he went to work for Trunkline Gas Company and was supervisor for a plant in Illinois, one is Shaw, Mississippi for several years and then in the same capacity at Kaplan, Louisiana. While living in Louisiana, they traveled weekends to Sargent, Texas and Sam built a small house there. Duke Energy contacted him when he retired and he worked for them as a consultant at several pipeline plants in the Laredo area.
They sold the house in Sargent and built a log cabin on 12th Street in Palacios to be near their only two daughters. Sam lived there alone for several years before his physical health began to deteriorate, so he sold the log cabin and built an efficiency apartment off the patio from his daughter, Myra. Sam has lived the last few years in the Matagorda House Healthcare Center of the Legacy campus in Bay City, Texas. His exceptional and alert mind never failed him as he kept abreast of all the world happenings and all the sports events.
Sam was only a high school graduate, but was always studying about machinery and ways to better educate himself. He was a “do it yourself” guy who could fix anything including radios and TV’s. His best asset was that he was a decent, honorable, kind man who loved his family above all else. During their early years raising a family the funds were tight and they lived frugally, but the family of four was very happy and had fun together. Church was an important part of their life. The accompanying picture was taken two months before his 98th birthday.
He is survived by daughters Anita Joyce Frankson of Bay City and Myra Brhlik of Palacios; grandsons Buddy Brhlik and wife Susan, Rusty Brhlik and wife Cheryl, Jim Frankson and wife Diana, Sama Frankson and wife Susan and Donald Frankson; great-grandsons Ryan Brhlik and wife Sara, Joe Paul Brhlik, Matthew Frankson and Erik Frankson; great-granddaughters Stephanie Brhlik, Kristi Brhlik, Shaley Frankson, Megan Frankson and Mary Catherine Frankson; his 95 year old sister, Bessie Alice Tyler of Watonga, Oklahoma; and former son-in-law M. C. “Kiff” Frankson.
