Very very saddened to learn of Sam’s passing. Words to describe him; Gentleman, Honest, Integrity, Humble, Generous. Sam, through example, taught me so much about life and how to live it. RIP my friend!

Michael, We were introduced to your Dad way back in 1968 by my Dad, HFHebenstreit at Norwich Street GSG. My engagement ring and wedding ring are still beautiful after 52 years. Sam was always there with his big smile and both of us loved seeing him! What a wonderful man!!
So sorry Michael, and our thoughts are with you and your family.

We had been customers of your fathers for many years and it all started with my dad, Bob Fitzgerald, both wonderful gentlemen. I remember my husband buying my engagement ring from your dad and many other fine pieces since then. Such fine quality jewelry... I know you must have fond memories of him and Goldstein, Swank and Gordon... may he Rest In Peace.
