Sorry to hear of Sam's passing. My name is Lee Redman & I was Sam's room mate when we were at U of Miami Coral Gables, Fl.

I was also at his wedding. We had lots of fun at school. He was a great room mate along with Arthur Levin.

Rest easy, my dear friend and snowbird neighbor of many years. I still remember Ross making jello molds for our condo get-togethers, knocking on your door every November 11th to give you your well-deserved veterans day card, and our good talks. I won't see you for a time. So until we meet again, we were fortunate to have you on this earth and I wish you and your family the peace which passes all understanding.....
