I worked with Sam for many, many years at District 186. He was one of the most friendly, hard working individuals. Sam always had a smile and a friendly word. Anyone that mention Sam did so with kindness...he always did his best to help everyone.
He will truly be missed by all. My sympathies to his family.

Sam always had a smile on his face, he worked wonders with all of the copy machines in the district. If the copier could be fixed, Sam would do it. My prayers are with Sam and his family. Rest in Peace Sam!

Seeing Sam at work over all these years was a pleasure. He always smiled and said hello even though his hands were always full of equipment to carry to fix the broken down copy machines.
