I was searching my name on the Internet and it took me to UIC graduation page of June 19, 1968 and there was Allen Badner (Me)and Sam Remer. As I had also worked with Sam at Altshuler, Melvoin and Glasser CPA's I thought I would try to find him and say "Hello" as we were also friends. And that is what brought me to this page. Shocking news that he has passed! I remember meeting Phyllis, with my wife Cherne, and remember Sam kinda talking out of the side of his mouth and telling one liner jokes. Sorry I missed him! Our heart felt condolences goes out to his family and friends.

I knew Sam for almost 30 years. I'm not sure which he enjoyed more...playing golf or telling a clever joke..or both..! He was a diligent businessman and trusted friend. God rest his soul and peace to his family.

I was so sorry to hear of Sam's passing. We had many good times together playing golf in Florida. He is in my thoughts and prayers. I shall miss his good humor and friendship. Please accept my sincere condolences.

So sorry to read of Sam's passing. Went to UIC with Sam
And played a lot of softball with him. I always enjoyed Sam in school and later on in HP. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

Sam and I worked together at Schwartz Hotel in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin, he was my accountant, business partner for a short time and a valued friend. I knew how much he loved his wife and family and it was a joy to know him and a treasure to have been able to call him my friend. Though we lost contact over the years, that was only because I moved abroad and was seldom in Chicago. He was always in my heart and thoughts. I share in your loss!
