Sam Viverito

I just found out about Sammy´s passing. We became friends through my mom, she worked with Michael on a project and introduced us when I moved to New York for college. When hurricane Sandy happened my first semester of college at Cooper Union, michael and Sammy opened their doors to me. I will never forget the times spent with Michael and Sammy.

So very to hear of Sam´s passing. My deepest condolences to his Family.

Sam was my director in 1994 for a production of "The Most Happy Fella". I will always remember his kindness and care. RIP Sammy.
