RIP Sam

Tom Archdeacon with a great article about Sam.

Note: I wrote a piece about Sam for Dayton Magazine many years ago. Sam’s favorite player (I asked him) was Ron Harper. He insisted on using a specific picture for the article (It was hanging in his living room). So we used it. I’ll post the pic later.

Sam lived in Kettering and was also a client of mime. Great guy and great family. RIP.

He loved that it looked like he was praying, while Coach Peirson and Pete Gillen “discussed” things.

He was the whole package as officials go. He was always hard working, impartial, consistent, and not theatrical in the games he officiated with Miami.
