Dr. Sam T. Hamra

Sam was larger than life. He rose to the pinnacle of his profession and was recognized for it, carving his place in the History of Plastic Surgery. But to me and my family, he will be best remembered for his love of family and for arranging from the earliest of days to visit us in Jamaica every Christmas holidays with Sonia and the boys, so that the cousins could grow up being close.

We are extremely saddened to hear of Dr. Hamra´s passing. A great gentleman . I´ll miss our chit chats in Arabic. Rest in peace .
