A longtime Clevelander, Sam epitomized the phrase "think globally, act locally." He was an artist who worked in many media, graduating from Cooper School of Art, Cleveland, in 1979 with a degree in printmaking and painting. A gifted photographer, he also trained and worked as a cabinet maker in set and exhibit design, and later worked in web development and livestream production. Sam was a long time employee of Trinity Cathedral Cleveland and a Board member and supporter of SPACES Gallery. Sam was thankful for his sobriety and the role his recovery played to mend his relationships with family and friends. Of note, he was also a certified Kansas City Barbecue judge. He will be remembered as a loving father, a loyal friend, an advocate for local art and artists wherever he went, and for his sense of fun, generosity, and his lifelong devotion to the legacy of the Apollo astronauts. He will be greatly missed.
