Sam Lauber and I worked in the same command in Schinnen, Netherlands from 1989-1993; he was the primary social worker for a geographically spread out U.S. military community. We jointly sought out Jewish worship places in The Netherlands and Belgium, and even formed an international congregation for a period at Schinnen. His childhood hardships he endured as a Holocaust survivor who immigrated to the U.S. as a young child were formative to the person he became. He worked his way through school and persevered in public and civil service, and somehow came to terms with his past. His greatest joy was his family life with Ellen and Aaron. His identification with Jewish ideals and Jewish people was strong. He was a good friend to me, and, indeed to anyone who needed a friend of conscience and character.
A community of Air Force and civilian social workers who benefited greatly from Sam's kindness, hard work, willingness to serve others, and a sense of humor to match the intensity of the work done during his long career as an Air Force Social Worker!!

Our prayers for Ellen and Aaron and we will miss him greatly. He served outstandingly with us in the Air Force and Army. Our first meeting in Schinnen led to a long professional relationship through our assignments at Wright Patterson Medical Center. He was an extraordinary man whose "lived experience" from childhood to our time with him was a template for all to live by, always moving forward!!! We love you and will miss you greatly Sam! B. Wall
