Mr Swidey taught me focus and brotherhood at Tansey Elementary-- a great start which has served me well over the years. Sorry I cannot make the service due to a board commitment, but please accept my sincere condolences. He touched the lives of many, and made a signiciant impact on all of them...a great man and a great legacy!

Sam was such a warm and wonderful person, just like his wife Mary. I recall how fond he was of Sophia, Nora, and Susanna, my three kindergarten students. He was a welcome sight when he visited my classroom. The girls loved their "Jidi." I was so lucky to have known him. He always had a smile. He will be missed. Rest in peace, Sam. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Neil, Denise and girls.
