One of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Kind, generous, fun and a real gentleman. Worked with him at PolyMedica.

The obituary says it well! Sam was very much a fun loving guy, and I remember his visits to our home in Washington DC when my sister Janinvited a bunch of her friends down from Westtown for long weekends. Athlete, he was and always willing to mentor others who didn’t have quite the talent he did. Simply put, a very good man.

Cherished memories from our mutual Westtown School experience. I was privileged to have been a teammate with Sam on basketball and baseball teams where Sam was an always an inspiration to me. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife,Nancy and family with his passing I consider it an honor to have been teammates and hallmates while at Westtown.

Sam was a wonderful and long time friend. Sam was, without a doubt, the brightest visionary and hardest working person that I have ever known and worked with in my entire long career and business life! He set the bar high and created the purpose excitement, and environment. He lead by example. A great story teller, and a wonderful sense of humor who loved Nancy and his family so much. You will be missed. RIP Sam.

It was an immense blessing and true joy to have known Sam for almost 3 decades. (I am Holly’s husband John’s sister.) Our whole family has long been HUGE fans of Sam and Nancy, and we have spent so many delightful times together. He will be sorely missed and dearly remembered.
Holly and Nancy nailed it in this obit:
Sam was just fantastic at having fun. He was self-effacing and kind and always giving in ways both big and small. He always had a passion for people, for their stories and for their concerns. And his caring and interest were genuine, whether you were his immediate family member or the plumber he had just met. The family is pretty sure he never met a dog he didn’t like. And above all, he was always willing to try, rarely afraid to fail, and retained a childlike joy and appreciation until the very end.
That is definitely the Sam I knew. What a Mensch!! Love you, Sam!!

I knew Sam for fifty five years. He was my friend, my mentor, and my hero. I felt truly honored to be part of his life, and truly grateful he was part of mine.

I met Sam through a mutual friend of ours while I was buying one of his cars. Sam was a wonderful man with whom I shared many laughs over car stories. He will be missed. RIP Sam. Condolences to his family and loved ones.

A wonderful man and neighbor. We will miss him and the roar of his beloved Porsche going in out of the driveway. May you rest in peace. Love, Diane and Joe
