Not sure what to say?

PETER SAMSON was the wonderful kind of person who impacted your life as soon as you met him in so many positive ways!! I had the great honor of meeting Peter many years ago thanks to our great mutual friend Mike Mcgovern!

My wife and I went to law school and served on Law Review with Pete. We were shocked and deeply saddened to learn of his passing.

We will remember and miss him always.
