Samuel Edward Morello

Sam was one of the first people I met when first coming to Flint in 1975. He instantly made me aware of the high quality and energy in the art scene in this community. An exceptional print maker, a generous supporter of students and fellow artists, a true friend and colleague. I have many of his works, he will be missed, but will always live on in fondness and admiration when I view his pieces. Love you Sam.

Sam was a friend and mentor. The things he taught me and support he gave cannot easily be written in a way that would make a just tribute. In short, I don't think I'd be where I am today (an art professor at Mott) without Sam. I will never forget you, our friendship, your impact, or your teachings. Thank you very sincerely!

Sam was and will remain my favorite instructors, administrator, mentor during my years in the fine arts program at Mott.(1975-1978)My sincere condolences to all of you. Yes, his life should be celebrated with the wonderful memories. From Debra Davidek Bobo.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I have too many memories about Sam to pick just one. He is irreplaceable. He was such a good man, good friend, fine teacher and exceptional artist. His contributions to the art scene in Flint art too numerous and important to even begin to list. So glad I own a Morello. I can look at it every day and smile. Thank you for your constant support during my journey in Flint, Sam. Thanks for having faith in me.

Sam was my Art instructor in the 70's at Mott College. He became a family friend later on. Sorry to hear of his passing.
