MY deepest condolences to the Zell family, I met Samuel on Facebook...He was my friend (a pen pal more like) He helped me thru my darkest time. We talked about family and life. My Facebook was compromised last May of 23 and I lost touch with him and I had just Googled him and seen he passed away on my Birthday. I never met him in person but it saddens me deeply. He was an amazing soul. May God bless his soul. My thoughts and prayers are with the Zell family. We joked because my last name is...

I'll do my best,have to say good bye,for now,but I'll see you again.

My condolences to the Zell family

Watched a video about this man and he really sets the bar high on climbing the ladder and putting money back into the economy. GOD BLESS RIP SAM

Dear Helen & Family I spoke w Sam early one morning during Covid at 6:30am. He was so delightful as we laughed regarding how he negotiated entry to college ...willing to work! Then he said I look forward to reading your book. Wow... what a Servant Leader. The family have our condolences. Mrs. Bond

I’m sorry for your loss. May your memories give you peace and comfort of your loved one. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the loss of your loved one. May GOD be with you all during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

May the passage of time bring comfort and solace to the Zell family and may the name Sam (Schmuel) Zell be for a blessing.
