Chuck, Teresa and family we are saddened for your loss. Our prayers are that God comfort and provide all your needs. Always Remember Mr Barham's words and stand on God's promises. With love, the Hinton family.

I was a member of the Class of 1967 of Armstrong High School. Samuel Barham taught me Advanced Placement Physics. He was a terrific teacher who loved physics and that love was infectious. I last saw him a few years ago at the funeral for Mrs. Mary Winston, held at First African. I was able to say to him that that day that I had earned three advanced degrees, that I'd been taught by some truly great teachers, and no matter how hard I might try, I could never move him out of the top five. Samuel Barham changed my life -- making the study of science a joy -- an art. I will cherish his memory and thank the Lord that I was blessed to experience a master teacher at work. Riley K Temple, Washington, DC

May sincerest sympathy to Mr Barham's family. He has always been remembered by me as one of my best science teachers while at Maggie L Walker HS 1965-68. He peaked my interest in his subject area and made me enjoy his classes. Even later whenever we would meet, he brought a smile to my heart and face with his warm and engaging personality. May He rest in eternal peace. Thank you, Mr Barham, for stimulating my intellectual growth. Stephonia Keys Owolabi

Condolences to the family of Mr. Barham.

My man, oh what a friend he was to me and my family. I would always go down after church to sit with him and Deacon Conyers to just talk. Now that they have gone on to glory I will miss the conversations from those two. A great loss to the congregation of First African Baptist Church.

Deacon Barham, I just wanted to thank you for believing in me, You are my biggest supporter and I will always carry that with me and in my heart,I pray comfort for your Wife, and entire family!!!

To Jerlys, Sonya , Chuck and Family your father was the one of the best high School administrators that I had the privilege to work with and a great friend. My condolences to you all. My prayers are with you all at this time in the lost of a great husband, father, grandfather and my friend.

As his assistant at Huguenot High School I learned so much from him about life and how to become friends with folks who are different than you. He would come to visit Joni and me at my home whenever he was near my house and I always appreciated his visits.

Our friendship continued for a long time after he left Huguenot but we lost contact in the last few years much to my regret.

Condolences to the Family and Sam may you rest in peace. Bill and Joni Schwartz
