Sam was a fabulous human being, friend and colleague. His outsized personality filled the room.As a surgeon he had the quiet control that only comes with absolute mastery of every detail. My love to the family for this loss. Roger Williams

I'll always remember all the great times we had.We shared a lot of laughs,especially on the tennis courts!
Sambo,you were a great surgeon as well as a great friend.

My condolences and love to all the family...Gabe,you're the image of your dad!

A great surgeon and a great singer. Sam, thanks for saving my neck and for the harmonies.

I was very sorry to hear of Sam's death. Sam was definitly one of the best physicians and largest personalities of an entire era of medicine in Naples. Those who knew him in Naples will never forget him.

My condolences to all of his family.

Sam & his family were among the first people I met when I moved to Naples 40 years ago. We shared a wonderful friendship that survived through the years. I'll always remember the fun times we shared, including real Cuban feasts at his home on Harbor Drive.Even though we hadn't seen each other often since he moved to Miami, Sam will always be in my memories and in my heart. 

Sending much love and condolences to the entire Spil Family.

I knew him as Uncle Mulque (his name that his parents & my parents always called him).  He was my father's brother.  They were two brothers that shared an amazing bond.

Uncle Mulque had a zest for life, loved his cigars, was a great singer and had a heart of gold.  There was always a smile on his face for you.  

He was brilliant; an outstanding neurosurgeon.  Our family was so proud of him for all of his accomplishments.  He was our go-to-doctor for any type of medical issue.  He always listened and offered his knowledge and wisdom.

To know him was to love him.  He holds a special place in the hearts of the lives of the people he touched. 

A wonderful man who will forever be in our hearts.

Forever in my heart and always with my love...

Sam was the surgeon who hired me twenty years ago.  He taught me "colorful" cuban phrases and how to drink strong espresso.  But Sam was, by far, the best neurosurgeon I ever met when it came to selecting patients to treat and who not to.  He was amazing.  He had a gift.  To this day I still quote Sam.  It was an honor and privilege to have known and worked with him.

When Wendy and I arrived in Naples in 1973, the first doctor we met was Sam. He invited me to share office space with him and he would pay the rent and overhead and salaries of staff, due to my being without funds. He did so, and would not accept repayment when I could afford to pay him back. He performed a laminectomy on me in 1974, major surgery at the time, and invited me to play tennis with him 5 days later, which I had to refuse. Sam was a guy who would give you the shirt off his back whether you asked for it or not. A great human being. I am so sad to hear that he is gone. God bless him and his family, past or present.

Family of Samuel Spil,
    Our thoughts and prayers go out to all.  We will always remember all the good times we had at his old home on Harbour Drive, Naples.  He was a wonderful doctor
 and person. We have known him since 1972.  Rest in peace Sam!
Charlie and MaryAnn Eytel
