I met Sam through the asbestos litigation when I lived and practiced in the Seattle area. While I often found myself and my client on the opposite side in litigation, I knew that Sam had a well founded basis for his opinion, that he would explain himself to a jury quite well, as he was an amazing teacher, and that he was probably not wrong in his review of the pathology. On a personal note, Sam was a wonderfully kind man who did not hesitate to help me and my family when a family member developed a condition about which I knew nothing. Sam offered his time and knowledge for no reason but that he knew me. He was a brilliant pathologist, and a kind, warm, and gentle man. The world is worse off for his loss. My condolences to his family.

I met Dr. Hammar in 1981 during the asbestos litigation. He was a true expert and a dedicated scientist. I was always impressed at willing he was to use his knowledge and skill in support of workers afflicted with occupational diseases through no fault of their own.
