SAMUEL HARTWELL Obituary

HARTWELL--Samuel A. The Board of Directors and staff of STRIVE mourn the passing of Samuel A. Hartwell, Sr., our founder, Chairman Emeritus, and friend. Sam co-founded STRIVE in 1984, with a vision of lifting people out of poverty by building a path to sustained employment. In his 20 years of leadership as the Board Chairman, STRIVE grew from an East Harlem-based nonprofit, to a national program that has transformed the lives of nearly 100,000 people. Sam's passion for serving the underserved and unwavering commitment to seeing our students succeed will remain a constant source of inspiration as we continue to build on his legacy. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Sam's four children, Ellen Blais, Charlotte Gesten, Annie MacNair, Sam Hartwell, and his extended family.

I just became aware of Sam's passing and I wish to offer my condolences and heartfelt thanks to him and his family for all they have contributed to the world. I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing and working with Sam through his involvement with STRIVE, as I was one of the first hires.

The Hartwell Family - so sorry to hear of Sam's (your Dad's) passing. I had the very fortunate opportunity to work with Sam early in my career, while he was Co-Chairman of the Blodgett Companies. And following that (in addition to simply enjoying his company), to have many conversations with him over the years about different aspects of business. He was always willing to offer advice, while passing on his knowledge and experience. He was a mentor, teacher and friend. He will be missed. However, I can personally say, that his business mentoring, knowledge and experience has been, and will continue to be passed on for generations to come. Thinking of you all and wish you the very best
