Bobby’s Father and Real Estate Teacher
Sam Jorrie grew up in the family furniture business and entered politics in the early 50s. He was instrumental in forming the Good Government League and helped break the then corrupt County Machine. He served Bexar County as County Commissioner of Precinct 3 for many years and then resigned his post to run unsuccessfully for the State Senate. Afraid of almost nothing, he described himself as “the Worst kind of Politician—a REFORM Politician.”
He was curious, interested in everything and styled himself as “a Lifetime Learner.”
Always colorful, Sam filled the town with numerous wonderful and laughable stories of his Indomitable Will, Positive Mental Attitude and the Earnest Belief that he could accomplish “Anything.”
He had remarkable foresight about many things and was a fervent supporter of desegregating public schools and early racial integration. He worked diligently for, but never achieved the right for San Antonio to merge its City and county governments into what was then known as “Home Rule.” He also helped bring about the first expressway San Antonio ever had—that portion of what is now I-10 running from Fredericksburg Road to downtown, the North Expressway project, and helping in the fight to beat those well-organized groups opposing it. A longtime devotee of the YMCA, he played Early Bird volleyball for years and helped build the YMCA Summer Camp now known as Flaming Arrow in the Texas Hill Country.
He was proud to have been instrumental in casting the all important tie-breaking vote in Commissioners Court that placed the Medical School and Hospital Complex “on the Hill” where it presently stands, instead of in the expensive congestion of downtown San Antonio. He was a Founding Director of Main Bank and Trust and served the bank for many years.
He had a prophet’s knowledge of how our community would grow geographically and strategically located his real estate investments accordingly.
Sam developed many real estate projects and was a friend to all—mentoring, over the years, many men and women not only in the real estate business, but in all fields of their endeavors, so they could become the Very Best they could become.
Throughout his life, Sam was known to be the Bluntest and Most Honest of men—always calling a spade a spade.
He died Feb 28, 1999 after a long illness, frustrated that County Home Rule had never been accomplished for our County.
