Tributes
Leave a tributeAfter getting hired, even when he didn't quite remember you, he was always sincerely warm and genuine, always had time to ask how it was going, how's the family, where are you living now, etc.
I used to spend a lot of time in the cities as an IP and would often see him at NATCO, and occasionally run into him at a restaurant, usually on west 496. He would light up as soon as he saw me and always make me remember why I was always glad to see him. Sam never met a new guy or gal. Just the fact that you were an aviator was the only ticket you needed to have a seat at his table. If you were the friend of a friend, you were a friend.
I am so saddened by the news of his passing. I too have so many memories of some of our encounters, some of the efforts he made on my behalf, but what always comes to mind is his genuine caring nature. The world has really suffered another huge loss with Sam's passing. I can only imagine how much he is missed by those of you, especially his family, who felt that warmth every day. Godspeed, Sam. Fly Safe.
