Sam and I knew each other from grade school through hillhouse, Yale, and uconn. I'd occasionally catch a ride back to Hartford with him when I was in med school and he was in law school. In all those years we never had a cross word. Most of my fondest high school memories involve Sam and Louie levinson and debates over who was better, Walt Frazier or earl Monroe. Poor Louie never had a chance. Sam was truly a good guy and a good friend.

Many people come and go through your life without making much of an impact. Sam was not one of those people. Sam was a bright, charismatic, charming, entrepreneurial, life loving Man who could connect with anyone from any walk of life. His cool was immeasurable and his smile un-matchable. He was one of kind and irreplaceable. Sam will be missed but never forgotten. Love you Sam.

A beautiful ceremony. Sam was such a big part of my days on Oxford St, Hartford in the 80's. He charmed me, my friends and my family. Wurzeburg beer, lobster, illegal cable, cooking a chicken all day, Wes Montgomery, Armani Suits, Prospect Cafe and mostly a big smile. Miss you my friend.
