He was predeceased by his parents, four brothers and one sister. Sam was born and raised in Harroby, MB. Sam served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War doing aircraft maintenance before he became the Industrial Arts Supervisor in the St. Vital School Division. Sam had a vision to create and Industrial Arts program second to none. In this he succeeded as the Industrial Arts program in St. Vital became and still is the envy of all other school divisions. During his term as Industrial Arts Supervisor he promoted his beliefs before all who would listen, from local trustees to the minister of education. During his educational career he served in many other educational roles, both at the local and provincial levels. Sam was an avid sportsman, participating in hunting, fishing, golf and curling. He and Kim also liked to play bridge and visit with good friends. Sam Maynes was a good man and a loyal and trusted husband, father, grandparent and friend of all who knew him.
