Sam was so much to the student body at TSA. He was a mentor, a boss, and a friend. He taught me so much during my time at Tulane and I will be forever grateful for those lessons and memories. Words cannot begin to describe the heart break I have felt since learning about his passing and I simply wish it was just not true. Sam, thank you for challenging me and always listening. You were truly one of the best members of the faculty and always one of my favorites!
