I think since he had such a zest for life and caring about what his students did this couldn't exactly put justice but the second list will be done several months down the road. I am super grateful for all the Sam's out there- the people who have a strong zest for life and a compassion that is never ending never ending to the point of being a hero to many when they need it most. R.I.P. Sam I will always remember you as the 2nd-best prof I ever had and an inspiration to all who walked with you. And I know that the angels are watching down on your students- they are all so grateful to have had you. 38. way too young. may you always be remembered.
