I look at his painting of the Arizona desert every day and his loving face and sweet smile appear in front of my eyes. He will always be remembered.

Hi,
Sam happen to cross my mind today and I "googled" him and found his obituary. I am so pleased to see he lived to 100 years, as he was such a kind and sweet soul, and made the world a better place for all. I met Sam on an eclipse chasing excursion while he was traveling with his grandson. We were on a cruise ship in the East China Sea in 2009, and Sam and I immediately hit it off with each other. (He fell and broke his arm on that trip.) We corresponded by mail for a number of years and he even sent me one of his paintings! He was a very special man and made that trip so much more fun for me.  I will look for photos and post them here.
How lucky you were to have him in your family!

Maria and I still miss and talk about Sam. His paintings hang proudly in our house

Sam was my trainer in NJ when I started with the government in 1978, and I last saw him June 14, 2019, when I visited friends in Phoenix.  His equanimity and work ethic were inspirational, and those cookouts in his backyard in West Orange were highlights of every summer back then.  He's with his beloved Sylvia now, and I'll never forget them both.


I have really special memories of our times at AJs on Sunday mornings.  It was an activity that Sami and I looked forward to weekly.  He was so generous with his bagel and lox (particularly with Sami :-).  Also am so pleased to have the honor of having several of his paintings in my possession.  I particularly liked his stories about NYC when he took art classes on 57th street.

Sam made me want to make Challah more regularly as he appeared to really like it and it was my pleasure to share it with him.   

My last visit with Sam June 2019. Rest in peace.

I was privileged to have met Sam several times in Montreal and Scottsdale. Sam was a man of knowledge and wisdom; he had a tremendous sense of humour and exuded love and warmth. We shared a lot of laughs and hugs. So, I am sending his family my deepest sympathy, prayers and thoughts. I will always remember Sam.

Sam was  wonderful person, full of stories of his life and wisdom and love for his family and friends. Talking to Sam was a learning experience and he was interested in languages and other people's lives. He will be missed and his paintings will not leave the walls of our house.
