As a young child, he moved with his parents, Mary Helen Gilmore Westmoreland and the late Samuel Boddie Moyle, Jr., to Walhalla, South Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He spent his childhood roaming the outdoors and graduated from Walhalla High School in 1969.

He attended the University of South Carolina, where he majored in psychology, and spent several summers working at Yellowstone National Park where, in 1973, he met his wife, Sara. The couple married on April 8, 1979 and enjoyed 30 happy years of marriage. They had four children.

Sam served in the United States Navy and retired as a Lieutenant Commander after tours of duty in Charleston, South Carolina; La Maddalena, Italy; Monterey, California; Patuxent River, Maryland; London, England; and Virginia Beach, Virginia.

He was a voracious reader and a consummate historian, especially of the American Civil War. He loved bluegrass and Celtic music and played the fiddle and the bagpipes. He loved fishing, Gamecock football and beach vacations in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Most of all, Sam loved his family.
