Sam Goldstein

Sam known to his D.U. fraternity brothers as "Sammer" or "Yogi Bear" was a great friend to many. A wonderful person who loved to play his horn and bowl. He left us way too soon...I miss you brother RIP Sam

For us it all began on Amherst and I don't know how many years that has been. I do know that it was before Alison was born so just start from there. So many memories---coffee on Sun. morning around our kitchen table; the trip to Las Vegas; the silly things that we laughed about-- a lot; the only person who would make a liquor store run for you-know-who across the street from you; the time Sam brought home a dump truck to cart away debris from our backyard, helped load it and then was...

Joann, Alison, Ben and family -

I have been thinking of you all since I heard about Sam a few days ago. He's one in a million, and I'll never forget him.

Stanley, I was so sorry to hear of your loss.

Just a note to say that I was so sorry to hear about Sam. He was such a character when he came to Roma Grocery to see Toots. Always such an upbeat person and one that you could talk to about the Lord. We had many lengthy conversations. How he loved all of his dear family! He so wanted to see the grandkids grow up. Time was too short for him, but we all know that he is no longer in pain and suffering mentally and physically. The next time that we see Sam, it will be under much better...

Although I never got to know Sam extremely well, he will be missed. I played with him in the Washington University Orchestra for years and there was never a rehearsal that went by that he didn't make some sort of comment to me that made me laugh. I can still see him sitting there with the rest of the horns with a giant smile on his face. I will miss him.

To the Goldstein Family
Sam's love of life and people showed always through his smile from ear to ear for the almost fifty years I knew him. He was a positive inspiration, a blessing for us all.

Sam left us much too early. But I am thankful that I was able to know him and play with him in brass quartets and the Meramec Symphonic Band. I am sure he is playing his horn again and suffers no more. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to have Sam touch my life...he was one in a million!
