Dear Sam, 
'A realistic let's do it attitude' 'sense of humor' 'refreshing' are in my notes from our first conversation.  
The short time that I was able to work with you are impactful. 
Always there with reassuring words and a smile, that can do attitude and that sense of humor.  Chief Collaborator. 
The Wednesday before your passing we celebrated milestones, 
shared our high fives, a deep sigh and an "almost there", looking forward to family time.  Loving husband, PROUD dad.  Your love for Vivi and Isabella exuded like rays of sunshine whenever you shared stories.  

Dear Vivi & Ms Isabella, 
May those same sun rays bring warmth to make it through difficult times. May the memories of Sam be forever with you. 

Deeply grateful for the time we got to collaborate together.
You are missed.
Mirjam

Here is a refined version of your heartfelt message:

I still can’t believe you’ve left us, Sam. You were such a cherished colleague, bringing warmth and light to everyone you worked with. You had a natural talent for making people feel valued and uplifted, even though we only connected online. Your positivity, kindness, and dedication bridged the distance as if we were sharing the same desk.

Sam, you were an incredibly skilled professional, but what I admired most was your “let’s do it” attitude and genuine kindness. I’m deeply grateful for the time we shared, and I hope you rest in peace while watching over and supporting your loved ones from above. 

With admiration and esteem, 
Monica

The first time I met Sam, last summer at an in-office day, we quickly found out that we were both new parents and our children were only a few days apart. I immediately could tell how much his family meant to him just by chatting for a few minutes. To his family, especially Vivi & Isabella, I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. We were all lucky to have known Sam for the short time that we got with him at CAIA. He was always positive, bright, and kind. Thinking of all of you during this difficult time.

Condolences to Vivi, baby Isabella and his family as a whole and friends, he will surely be missed. I was really honored to have met him, though briefly it was still memorable. The first person to ever help me and show me a few tricks when I started to work, excellent human being and very compassionate and helpful. 

May he rest in peace eternal. Praying for strength, courage, peace and comfort for the family!

Sam was part of the CAIA family and we mourn beside Vivi and Isabella, and the many lives he touched in such positive ways. His memory is a blessing to all of us and we are so fortunate to have known Sam in a life and time that was way too brief. Rest in peace Sam ❤️

The day I met Sam during his first week working for the CAIA Association, I knew he was perfect for our organization.  He was very outgoing and friendly.  Any time I saw him, I was met with a smile and a greeting.  He always listened to everyone who had an idea or question.  He was truly a great person and colleague.
I am very sad for his family, especially his daughter, I lost my dad when very young.  I hope she will be surrounded with folks who will tell her what a great person her dad was.

Today, we gather to celebrate the life of Sam, a remarkable supervisor, and an even more remarkable friend. Sam was more than just a leader; he was a guiding light for all of us. In a world where work often feels all-consuming, he always reminded us that our lives outside of the office mattered just as much.

Sam had an extraordinary ability to connect with everyone. No matter who you were, he made you feel valued and heard. He took the time to ask how we were doing, genuinely caring about our well-being before discussing work tasks. This simple act of kindness fostered a culture of support and understanding that was felt by all.

He understood that we all have families and lives beyond our jobs. Sam encouraged us to prioritize our personal lives, reminding us that it’s okay to seek balance. His empathy and compassion created a workplace where we felt safe to share our challenges and celebrate our victories together.

One of the most beautiful aspects of Sam’s life was his love for his daughter. He would come to the office every day with a new story to share, always eager to show us pictures and admire her growth. His eyes would light up as he spoke about her, a testament to the joy and pride she brought him.

Sam’s humility was evident in every interaction. He approached everyone with respect and warmth, treating each person as an important part of our team. His laughter and stories brought joy to our days, and his unwavering support gave us the strength to face any challenge.

Though we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the profound impact he had on our lives. Sam taught us the true meaning of leadership—not just in tasks and projects, but in kindness, friendship, and understanding. Let us honor his memory by embodying the values he instilled in us: compassion, connection, and the importance of caring for one another.

Thank you, Sam, for being a friend and mentor to us all. Your spirit will live on in the bonds we share and the lives you touched.

My heart is heavy as I remember all the moments we shared with Sam. I’ll forever see that little boy with a big smile, tugging at grandpy and Gini, asking for grilled cheese sandwiches. Watching him grow up, I was always so proud of the man he became—strong, kind, and selfless. It was an honor to see him put on his navy uniform, serving his country with the same spirit he brought to everything he did. His sudden passing leaves a space that can never be filled. We will hold his memory close, especially for his Father & Stepmom, beautiful wife and baby, who carry on his legacy of love and courage. Rest easy, Sam. You are deeply missed and forever loved.
