Samuel Bosch

I know Sam as a long standing member of the Peace and Justice Center's Steering Committee. In 2006, Sam received the prestigious Constance Kozel Award, for his interfaith work with all churches. The now named Susan Merrill Constance Kozel Award, named for the Center's guiding spirit and the Center's founding director, is presented annually to an individual whose contribution to society reflects the principles of justice and peace. Sam certaily exemplifies this award.

Dear Thelma, Steve, Cathy and family,
I'm sorry for your loss. My recollections of Sam from the 60's are of a wise, kind, and confident man yet also a modest man. His remarkable achievements had no discernible effect on his bearing and he was always calm and caring. May your memories of those earlier joyful days sustain you during this time of loss.

Thank you to everyone who has sent their condolences. I am Sam's granddaughter Jessica, daughter of Cathy. My grandfather lived a long and happy life, and he is missed by all of us.

Dear Thelma, Steve and Cathy and Goldie,
I'm so sorry to hear about Sam's passing. My thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow. “HaMakom yenacheim etchem betoch sha'ar aveiliei Tzion v'Yerushalayim” — May the Almighty comfort you among those who mourn for Zion and Jerusalem.

My sincere sympathy to Thelma and family. I first met Sam through the Peace Center and I still carry around the business card he gave me explaing his view of ONE HUMAN FAMILY. He taught so much through the example of his life. He will be greatly missed.

Always remember Sam as a good man and great person.We would talk at the Kingston Post Office about anything and everything.He was a genuine person.

Dear Mrs. Bosch and family, Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. I will also remember his friendship and kindness during our many years as neighbors.

Steve and family..So sorry to hear of your father's passing.
