Samuel Curtis Oliphant died Feb. 6, 2013, at the age of 96. He leaves behind a legacy of professional and personal accomplishments.
Born on Nov. 9, 1916, in Harrisonburg, La., he moved to Texas, where he attended the University of Texas and received a Bachelor of Science in 1938 and a Master of Science in 1941, both in petroleum engineering.
He pursued a distinguished career as a petroleum engineer, serving as a senior vice president of Tenneco. After retirement, Sam continued to consult in the industry.
He collected and restored antique cars and was active in the Horseless Carriage Club of America for many years. In later years, he enjoyed life with his friends and family on Lake LBJ, where he was known as the one who could fix anything.
