San Antonio Express-News, 2 Jul 1993
Headline: Millsap Operated Cafeteria Business
Sam Millsap Sr. and his wife operated cafeterias in San Antonio office 
buildings for about 40 years.  Although Millsap Cafeterias Inc., were not in 
the public eye, many people knew of the couple’s reputation, said his 
daughter, Vicki Krueger of Houston.  Millsap, 72, died suddenly Wednesday.  He 
was the father of former Bexar County District Attorney Sam Millsap Jr.  
Legally blind since he was young, Millsap overcame his handicap, his daughter 
said.  “He did everything a blind person wasn’t supposed to do,” she 
said.  “There was nothing my Dad hadn’t done.”  Millsap became active in 
helping organizations for the blind in his early years and continued for many 
years, Krueger said.  “He always was doing for other people,” she said.  “He 
truly was a hero to me and to everybody.”  When Millsap and his wife opened a 
new cafeteria in their chain, he would design the layout of the building using 
a peg board and “nuts and bolts,” said his wife, Ruth Plunket Millsap of San 
Antonio.  He served as chairman of the board of directors at Goodwill 
Industries for about 10 years and received the Chairman’s Award from the 
organization in 1977.  Other survivors include a daughter, Gingie Nelle 
Hudgens of Santa Teresa, N.M.; a sister, Virginia Smith of Luling; a brother, 
Reid Millsap of Dallas; and four grandchildren.  Funeral services are 
scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Friday at Sunset Funeral Home Chapel with entombment 
following in Sunset Mausoleum No. 2.
