What a blessing that the legacy of Sam Zemurray I thru Sam III became conservancy. As was the grandfather’s (“Sam the banana man”) Jewish tradition would have it, may this Sam’s memory be a blessing (“Zichrona Livracha”)

Dearest Zemurray family,
We offer heartfelt sympathies for our cousin Sam. I only had to opportunity to meet him as a child at my Uncle Sam &Aunt Sarah's home on Audubon place. We pray for your family to find peace in prayers sent to you from your New Orleans family.

Sam,
All your friends from the Webb School will miss your gentle nature and sly sense of humor. You have given us many great memories since our first meeting in 1958. At least we have had the pleasure of your company for all these years and will cherish them forever. Pat, we are sorry for your loss; if we can be of some assistance, please call on us.

"Mr. Sam" has been a longtime friend of our family, and we will miss him greatly. He was a tireless supporter of the Registered Polled Hereford herd that my Dad worked to develop at Bethesda Home for Boys between 1988 and 2008. He was generous with his time, resources, and connections throughout the state and country. He was also kind and supportive - especially in crisis. When my Mom (Sally) was critically injured in a 1984 car accident, Sam was there. When we suffered hurricane damage or other natural disasters at Bethesda, Sam was there. When my Dad (Bill) was at the end of a year long battle with cancer in 2017, Sam was there. He made a lasting impression on the Savannah and Effingham communities, and he will be missed. Our prayers are with Ms. Pat and the rest of his family at this time.
