According to a post at Jerry Waters' message board, Coal River Sam has passed away. Unless you are a listener of Charleston, WV talk radio or are from this area, that name probably doesn't mean anything. But if you do listen to local talk here, then your heart probably just sunk a bit. I never had the pleasure of meeting Sam face to face, but he sure did seem passionate when he called in. He'd rail on whatever the topic of the day, usually quoting the law the way a preacher quotes scripture. "WV code section 4 paragraph 2 states that such and such, so obviously what the state is trying to do is illegal" might be something he'd say.
So long, Coal River Sam, I salute you.
