Samuel Tomasello Obituary
He always accomplished the goals he set for himself; graduated Shorewood H. S. 1986, then onto UWM, graduating with majors in Accounting and Finance while running both a Landscaping & Parking Business. Sam moved to Las Vegas in 2000 & worked at the Venetian Hotel for 18 years in Guest Services plus doing Taxes & Financial Planning for 14 years.
Sam worked tirelessly for 12 years to bring the love of his life, Darling Nhan, now his wife of 2 years, here to the US from Vietnam. She was his everything and how lucky we are to have her and her beautiful family join ours.
His sisters treasured Sam as their special treasure, holding wonderful memories of games, picnics, and family road trips. All friends were welcome and the more the merrier. He loved nature especially the mountains and oceans. Our prayers are lifting him into the oneness of the universe where he will always be at peace his lovely nature. His courage in battling ALS left us with the determination to be as brave in carrying on. May his memory always be a blessing.
Sam is survived by his wife Nhan Pham, Mom, Belle, Dad, Salvatore, sisters, Sara Tomasello (Larry Gritton), Andrea Tomasello, Jessica Tomasello (Scott Solomon), nieces, Zoee Talaska, Rayana Tomasello, Arielle Solomon, nephews, Eliot Tomasello (Angie), Adam Solomon; and many dear Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and friends.
There will be a private celebration of Sam’s life here in Arizona and one to be announced for him in Las Vegas. A charitable donation in Sam’s memory will be appreciated by the ALS Foundation.

RIP. I am just finding out today and am devistated! I met Sam when we were both in Mrs Richards first grade at Lake Bluff and he became one of my best friends, I moved to Georgia in 1976 but we kept in touch when I visited my family each summer, We kept up until he moved to Vegas and than only saw each other 1 more time. Condolences to his family and new bride,

Belle and Sal,
I am so sorry for your the loss of your son, Sam. He was such a good friend and I still remember meeting him on the first day of fourth grade at Lake Bluff School. We were instant friends from that day on. I wish that we had kept in touch after college.
Sincerely,
Nick Goldblatt

I have known and worked with Sam for 15 years and had lunch and went for coffee countless times while at work. He was a great friend who I will miss him. We used to feed a bird that was living on the Burberry store sign. We named him Birdberry after the name of the store. Sam would whistle to get the birds attention and I would drop the some bread crumbs.

He was our tax man for 14 yrs. He was so welcoming and warm to us every year that we went to him to file our taxes.
We are saddened for him and his new wife and his family. Sam was a very nice guy. We will miss him.

I've known Sam since I started as a Valet at The Venetian in June 2003. I worked his same shift (swing shift), and he was always so nice and pleasant to work with and to be around. And even though I moved on to be a Concierge, Sam was always still so friendly and nice whenever I did see him. I'm shocked that I won't be seeing his smiling face in the Venetian's hallways anymore. R.I.P. Sam. Thank you for your friendship. I will miss you. Terrie Schaefer

This breaks my heart. I haven't seen Sam in many years since our TYG days back when he and my brother hung out. I remember he was a good guy. May his memory be for a blessing.
