Not sure what to say?

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was heartbroken to hear about Sam´s passing. Growing up, Sam and your family were such an important part of my life, and I will always treasure those memories. He touched so many lives and will never be forgotten. Please know my thoughts and love are with all of you during this incredibly difficult time.

He was always a pleasure to be around.

So sad to hear this news. Mr. Bishar was one of my favorite teachers. I was just thinking about him the other day....He used to ask questions and when a student got the right answer, he´d say "You bet your bottom boots", (a combination of you bet your bottom dollar and you bet your boots). I have been saying that for 50 years now, always remembering his humor, his kindness, and his dedication to make learning a positive experience. I recently attained a doctorate and it caused me to reflect...

Sam was a close and great friend. We had many good times together. Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. I am so sorry for your loss.

To live in the hearts of those we leave behind, is not to die. My sincere sympathy to Jean, and the family. Bob Risch

To the Bishar Familiy, my deepest condolences and sympathy on the loss of your family member. Sending prayers to the whole family and continue holding on to the memories that you have with him. Sincerely, Sandra Vartanian Dusbiber

Mr. Bishar was my algebra teacher at North Junior High during the 1973-74 school year. He signed my yearbook that my class was one of the best he had encountered. He was so fun in class, but made sure we were learning what we needed to know. He's always been one of my favorite teachers.
