SAMUEL HEYMAN Obituary

HEYMAN--Samuel. Harvard Law School mourns the passing of Samuel J. Heyman, outstanding corporate leader, and invaluable advisor and great friend of the Harvard Law School. His visionary belief in the need to inspire the nation's best and the brightest to pursue careers in the federal government led to his creation of the Law School's Heyman Fellowship Program on Government Service. We are honored that Sam's legacy will live on through the extraordinary work of the Harvard Law School Heyman Fellows and all others inspired by his call to service. We at the Harvard Law School will never forget his stellar role on the Dean's Advisory Board, the Executive Committee of our recent fund-raising campaign, and in the rejuvenation of our public service community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Ronnie, his mother, Annette, his children, Lazarus Heyman, Eleanor Propp, Jennifer Millstone HLS '05, Elizabeth Winter, son-in-law David Millstone HLS '05, his grandchildren, and the entire Heyman family. Martha Minow Dean, Jeremiah Smith Jr Prof Harvard Law School

I extend my sincerest condolences to Ronnie Heyman and the family of Sam Heyman.

I worked for Sam Heyman for four years in the 1990's.I learned many key business skills and gianed tremendous insight into how to do things right while at GAF Materials Corp.

I was always impressed with how Sam took care of his people and provided for their futures and their families.

With 37 years in this industry, I can truly say I don't believe we will see his likes again.

God bless all those he loved and who loved him in return.

Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to you Ronnie, Annette and family.
We knew Samuel in Danbury where I grew up. Our families were very friendly many many years ago. We last saw you at the wedding of Peter May's son in Bridgewater, CT where Mort performed the ceremony at Sam's suggestion. We are thinking of you at this very difficult time and send our condolences to the entire Heyman family - most of whom we know from our Danbury, CT association.
Fondly,
Mae (Rubinstein) Riefberg and Judge Morton Riefberg

Sam Heyman was an accomplished businessman and tenacious adversary. His generous philanthropy is an admirable legacy. We are all poorer for his untimely departure. My condolences to the Heyman family.

To Ronnie, Annette, Larry, Eleanor, Jennifer and Elizabeth, my deepest sympathis are with you. If I am in shock, I can only imagine what you are going through. What a blessing it was for me to see you all and Sam together and to visit with you all at the family picnic just three months ago. May the loving thoughts of friends and family give you support. -Rebecca (Rikki) Heyman.
