SAMUEL PEABODY

I miss and think of Sam every day and will love Sam and Judy Peabody, forever.

I never knew Sam but knew of him....He served with my Dad as an Infantry soldier in the Pacific during WW II..Like so many WW II Vets, Dad rarely talked about the War other than to say that his friends like Sam was "a good fella".....I once found a letter in my Dad's scrapbook that Sam wrote after the War expressing his thanks and deep affection for my Dad....All I remember is that Sam was getting ready to enter his Freshman year at Harvard ....Years later my Dad was happy and wrote a letter...

Sam was my alltime favorite teacher (St. Bernard's). He was kind, compassionate and was a true gentleman. Despite our 25 year age difference, he beat me regulary in squash. Losing to him never bothered me. I was planning to send him my novel to read but procrastinated far too long. Belated condolenses to his family.

How lucky I was to share so many lovely walks with Sam in his beloved Scotland . Un grand Monsieur , indeed . Only good souvenirs from two wonderful people , Judith and Sam . With all our sympathie to Elisabeth , from Nelly Cock , Belgium

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had Mr. Peabody as my Principal in the Lower School at RCDS. His patrician demeanor set an example for me and gave me a foundation that has served me throughout my life. I was able to tell him this at a reunion reception a few years ago and he was genuinely happy to hear it. I am grateful for his life and hope that he rests in peace.

Deepest condolencea to the family.

A wonderful gift to education, the children of NYC and
everyone privileged to have known him. A gentleman's gentleman.

Sam was simply the greatest friend and man one could have and know. I will miss him and his beautiful, spiritual, gift from God, wife, Judy, as long as I shall live. Rest In Peace, Samuel P. Peabody. You did all you could for as many as you could. Thank you, Tony Rose

He was a wonderful Principal..I think those of us who spent our elementary school years at Rye will remember him fondly....
