Not sure what to say?

Sam was a very special man, caring and soft spoken. So thankful for memories made over the years. Sympathy to the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all in the passing of Sam.

My condolences on the loss of Sam. He was a dear man, and a favorite of my father's. They shared common roots back to the old country, and loved reminiscing together. In recent years, I marveled at Sam's vigor while he walked the Dickinson/Converse area, and enjoyed talking with him when he passed through the JCC lobby. He will be missed.

It was a honor to work with Sam, he taught me a lot when I worked at Serv-u. He was great with customers and employee's, he will be missed.

I grew up in East Spfld and loved going to Serv U stores..Certainly miss those family run shops. Well done.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of dearest Samuel.

Our prayers are with the entire Horowitz and Rosenkrantz families.

A wonderful man way ahead of his time. Sam made me the first woman in the plumbing dept. at Serv-U. When I was told by the customer he did not want a woman to help him I would get Sam to talk to him. Sam would listen to the customer then he would ask him what I said. The customer would then tell him what I said and Sam being Sam would say " why don't you listen to her she knows more than I do" Which of course we all know wasn't quite true.Eventually we went on to have three women working in...

Our deepest sympathy. It was a honor to have worked with your Dad. He thought me how to make all my customers special no matter how small their projects were. So many memories were shared with your family. I am blessed to have known him.
