Deepest condolences to the Ryu family. I worked with Seh Man "Sam" Ryu in the late 70s at Gulf Research in Harmarville, PA. Sam was a great mentor and friend to me, and I have never forgotten his enterprising spirit, his Chemical Engineering skills and his smiling face. I am lucky to have known him, and have benefited much from the experience.

Sam and Yumi gave me my first job out of grad school. I owe them so very much. My condolences to Yumi and her family.

Deepest sympathies to the Ryu family.  I worked with Dr. Ryu in Korean community projects and helped started Korean Community Center.

My heart and prayers go to Sam's family during this sad time. I worked for Sam and Yumi about 20 years ago, it was my first corporate job. I learned so much from such great, progressive leaders. I'll never forget Sam's smile in company meetings. I'm so grateful to have known Sam and family. Sam leaves a legacy as a great leader.

My deepest sympathies to the Ryu family. I worked for Sam and Yumi for  over 10 years and they were nothing but nice to me. I am so sorry to hear of Sam's departure. May God be with the family.

Our deepest sympathies and condolences to Yumi and family. Our hearts and prayers go to them at his funeral service today. We've known Seh Man and his family for many years. Seh Man is a man of energy and tremendous drive which helped him achieve many professional and business successes. Seh Man, however, through the thick and thin in his career has never lost enthusiasm for life. His hearty laughs have always made everyone around him feel better. He left a legacy which we'll cherish for a long time. We take comfort in knowing that Seh Man has made a renewed commitment to Jesus and so he'll be in a place where we all want to be after we leave this world. In our casual conversation a couple of years ago, Seh Man talked about the importance of a gathering of family and friends to remember him. We'll be part of such gathering for him in the future.
With the loving but aching hearts, Young J. and Hyun S. Park (Sammamish, WA)

You have lived well with high spirit and energy, resulting in many accomplishments. You have encouraged and inspired many. We shall dearly miss your smile, laughter, and incredible competitive spirit in this world, but look forward to rejoice together again.   D. Yup Kim (Kingwood, TX)

My deepest sympathies to Yumi and family. I also worked for Sam & Yumi for 10 years at the Wirt Rd location. Sam was a very energitic and friendly person. He will be missed but he made an impression on all that worked for him so his memory does go on in all of us that knew him. 

Sam and Yumi hired wonderful people, in which many of us are still friends and keep in touch over 10 years later so Thank You to you both for hiring such wonderful people to work with.

Yumi, your family are in my prayers. May God bless you and keep you close to help you get through this difficult time.

I worked at Computize for Sam & Yumi back in the late 90's for a brief period.
I appreciate everything they did for me and the opportunity. My thoughts and prayers go out to Yumi and everyone in Sam's family.

My sincere condolences to Yumi, Ken, Rita, Sam's grandchildren, and the entire family.  I also had the wonderful opportunity of working for Sam & Yumi at the Wirt Rd locations for about 10 years.  Sam was a very charismatic, intelligent, funny, and friendly person.  He will truly be missed by all.  Even though it has been about 10 years since I last saw Sam, I still recall the great stories he would tell and his awesome laugh.  I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers.

My sympathies and condolences to the Yumi Ryu and Family. I will always remember Sam Ryu. I talk about my experience there to this day. I will keep the Ryu family in my prayers. Kind Regards, Ray Wilkinson

My deepest sympathies go out to Yumi and the Ryu family upon hearing this sad news. 

At a time in my life when I needed an opportunity for personal and professional growth, Sam and Yumi offered me that opportunity. The company Sam and Yumi built together became my extended family and I will always be grateful.

Others have said that Sam demanded a lot from the people around him and taught tough lessons. I agree that they were lessons that we all needed to learn to be able take the next steps in our careers and in our lives.

I will always remember Sam and Yumi and I am very sad that this chapter in our lives has been closed.

My deepest sympathies go out to Yumi, Rita, and Ken.

Sam played an important and pivotal part in my personal and professional life and for that I will always be grateful. 

Sam was a larger than life figure who demanded excellence from all those around him. Consequently, sometimes you learned tough lessons but lessons that needed to be learned.

What a life. Sam, you wiill be remembered and missed. Thank you.

I just received word of Sam's passing from Joe Martinez. I worked at Computize from 1994-1996, it was my first job out of college. I remember walking into the Wirt Road location and interviewing with Joe Martinez, and Homer Harris. I got the job, and for the next 2 years, until I moved to SC, I worked for Sam's great company.
I remember Sam and Yumi and the amazing opportunities they provided me, and they were always in my corner coaching along. 
Now almost 20 years later, I still remmeber my time at Computize fondly. The great friends and fun times stay with me always.
I am forever indebted to Sam for providing me with the start to my career. I will always think of him fondly.
Yumi, your family is in my prayers. While we don't always understand why someone is taken from us, Yumi, you can be comforted by knowing that Sam made a difference. His positive impact on those around him will resonate for years to come.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Ryu Family. I will always remember Dr. Sam Ryu with warm thoughts and with great admiration for his accomplishments. Sam and Yumi both presented me with amazing growth opportunities in my career path and I will be forever grateful to them. Ms. Yumi, your family is in my prayers through this sad and difficult time. Rest in Peace, Sam.
