Samuel Ellis Obituary

Extending my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I was very sad to hear of Sammy's Passing. He will be greatly missed.

everyone always had something good to say about SAMMY. May he rest in peace.

Sam's name always comes up in family conversations of best/favorite teachers. My mother (a teacher) always remembers him as the one who always called his students on Sunday before an exam to make sure "we were giving him some of our time." I'll remember him for being demanding yet fair, praising when merited but not coddling. As a man who called them as he saw them he will be missed. As for myself, a U of MD alumnus, he was the only Duke fan I could stand.

I worked with Sam for 25+ years at AACC. He was such a wise, educated man. He had such a big smile, but always maintained that little boy "devilish" grin. We shared conversation, humor, daily events, and lunch together over the years. Rest in peace Sammy...I will miss you.

I am sorry to hear of Sams death.

I worked with Sam for all of the years he taught at Anne Arundel Community College. He was the top of the line Accounting professor. I had him for Accounting One.

Again, my condolence for Bruce and the remainder of his family.

We were friends from the St. Andrews Homes and all the St. Andrews schools era. Please accept my condolences.

Bruce and Family,my very deepest sympathy goes out to you.This is a terrible shock.Sammy and I were big buddies as children.He was my closest cousin on my Dad's side of the family.Our Mothers were good friends as well as sisters-in-law,so we played together and got into a lot of mischief together,too.I'll miss him so much.Love you,Sammy,sleep in peace.Love you,Brucie,take care.Barbara and Ray

I was shocked when I received a phone call today from Weezie of Sammy's passing. We have kept in touch by e-mail for several years - him always asking about my mother. He kept me up-to-date about Bruce and his family. He was so proud of his niece and nephew. My prayers are with his family

I was sad to hear of Sam's death. He and I wrote quite a few emails in the past couple of years. He was a fine friend as I knew him in High School. His sense of humor and bright smile will always figure in my memory of him.

Please know that our prayers are with you all as you grieve his home going.

With Sympathy

Several years ago I received an e-mail from "Sammy" asking if this was the Linda Phillips who was his first grade girlfriend, which indeed I was. We enjoyed exchanging e-mail messages and sharing memories. I am very saddened at his passing, and my thoughts and heart go out to his family.

My prayers are with you and your family. Sammy was a high school friend and I have always remembered him over the years. We had recently connected again through email. Sammy, you are in a better place. God be with you.

Sammy and I go back to the old St Andrews Homes (the Project) in the late 40's and early 50's. I am saddened at the loss of this dear friend. We lost contact after High School. Through the internet we were able to again renew this friendship and catch up on the absence years. Sam, you will be truly missed.

Sam and I talked nearly every day for the past several years. I loved him with all my heart. I shall always miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of loss.

Sorry to hear of Sammy's death, my prayers are with the family. Rest in peace Sammy.

My heart is sad to hear about this sad event. For years we have maintained our friendship on the phone and emails. I will miss him forever. He was my life long friend. I'm sorry I will be unable to attend the funeral because I have just returned to Florida from Charleston. To his family I send my love and sympathy.

At last you are at peace and can see the face of God. I will miss your presence in my life, and you will always have a special place of love in my heart.



Love,

Diane

I am so sorry to hear of Sam's death. He and I had been corresponding via e-mail for several years and he received a copy of the STA Class of 1958 and Friends Newsletter every month. He always kept up with old friends! I was looking forward to his returning to the lowcountry of South Carolina. My prayers and sympathy go out to all of Sam's family; please know that others are thinking of you at this very sad time.
