Sammy retired from the Barber & Ross Company after 28 years in 2002. Sammy was known throughout the Leesburg community, and you would see him all over town taking his daily walks. He enjoyed meeting his friends at the mini-mart or at the park, where he would share stories of Leesburg in the old days, or Redskin victories and stories about his beloved New York Yankees. Survivors include a brother, Nathaniel “Dee” Winston and sister-in-law Thelma of Charles Town, W.Va.; a son, Charles Mallory; grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Donations in his memory may be made to the American Cancer Society, 124 Park St. S.E., Vienna, VA 22183-0699.
