I just recently became aware that Sammy had passed. I met Sammy in August of 1970 and we dated until I moved to Hawaii with my roommates in August of 1971. I married and moved to San Francisco in 1973. I divorced in 1976 and Sammy and I connected again. We were friends and he even came to visit me in San Francisco once. I would go back to El Paso to visit family every couple of years and we would have lunch or coffee each time and would also stay in touch from time to time on the phone. I got married again in 1990 and we lost touch with each other. The things I remember about Sammy are that first, he was very, very kind to me. He loved music and I remember he especially loved the Neil Diamond song "Shiloh". I think he might have taken me to see Neil Diamond at UTEP when he used to perform there! He truly loved his family. He invited me to a family gathering - I think it was New Years Eve 1977?. The parents were out of town and the siblings got together. It was fun to see the siblings that I had heard about so many years before. He was a good friend and I'm so grateful that I got to have him in my life. Rest in peace Sammy.

My deepest condolences to Eddie and his family over the loss of Sammy. What a funny guy who fired up a room whenever he walked in. Sammy was also the best dressed man I ever knew while in college. Slacks and button down shirts always with his initials embroidered on his shirts...pure class! He was a beloved SAE fraternity member and will be missed.
