November 19, 1951 – January 27, 2023
Samuel "Tiny" Wolfgramm, 71, of Webster, TX passed away peacefully January 27, 2023, with his wife and oldest daughter holding his hands. Sam was born on November 19, 1951, to Mele and Joshua Wolfgramm in Auckland, New Zealand.
Sam was preceded in death by his parents, brother John, sisters Lose and Patricia, grandsons Bobby and Sammy, and great grandson Tro.
Sam is survived by his loving wife of 47 years Clara, siblings: Carl, Alfred, Finau, children: Jennifer, Bill (Tammy), Donnie (Natalie), Karl, Katrina (Mike), Alfred (Nicole), grandchildren: Steven, Stuart, Rhea, Bryce, Shelley, Nicole, Derek, Shay, Ryan, Desiree, Thomas, Joshua, Jonathan, Christian, Christopher, Clover, Jameson, Mikayla, Maryah, Aidan, Alyssa, Michael, and Jaxson, as well as 16 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Sam worked over 50 years in the car business. His love and mastery of numbers assisted him through the many positions he held from Sales to Finance. In those 50 years he also moonlighted as a musician in many bands singing and playing the drums. Although he spent the last 11 years in New Zealand, his home was always here in Texas. Midnight dinners at Denny's with Clara and the kids, countless road trips, listening to and performing music, sports, attending his grandsons’ school and sports events, family get togethers, and triple Whataburgers with cheese, large fries, and a Diet Coke were some of his most favorite things. After a year of health battles, Sam is once again singing and joking with his loved ones free of pain.
A celebration of life will be held Saturday, February 25, 2023, at 2:00 P.M. at Jeter Memorial Funeral Home, 311 N. Friendswood Drive, Friendswood, TX 77546 (281) 992-7200. Following the Eulogy, the family invites anyone that would like to, to share a memory or a few words.

Oh Sam! I remember your first words to me. I had been working at A.C.Collins off S Richey for a while when a new change of management came about. I was terrified of this giant statue of a man. Who was he? Would we get along? I must have walked by you 5times before I hear a very loud, strong, deep voice say man you sure do walk fast! Lol. I quickly learned that you were the sweetest, most gentle human with an Amazing voice!! Wasn't long before you treated me like part of your family. I will always remember your laugh, your jokes, and that voice! Go Fly High and Sing with the Angels Sam. Rest Easy I til we meet again! 💜 Mandy
