We have lost a True American Hero Its with deep regret I announce the passing of a True American Hero. Mr. Samuel G. Swope 88, passed away December 9, 2014 with his family by his side. The family has ask Kentucky Patriot Guard to stand a Flag Line in Honor of their loved one. Mr. Swope was the chairman and founder of Sam Swope Auto Group and one of Louisvilles most respected and influential civic leaders. Born August 24, 1926, in Lakewood, OH, Swope served as a Petty Officer, Second Class, in the United States Navy from 1943 to 1946. He was assigned as a Mineman with a Diver First Class-rating in underwater mine disposal, and later told friends that he relished his weekends, never knowing if each diving day would be his last. After the service, he earned a degree in marketing from Ohio State University in 1949. Mr. Swope played as hard as he worked. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was notorious for telling a good joke. He was an avid boater, both on the Ohio River and in Florida, and a longtime motorcyclist, riding the Alps numerous times. He was still riding in the months leading up to his death. Loved ones remember him also as a world-class storyteller, giving virtuoso performances at family gatherings for hours on end.
