    Sam was the most gracious person I have ever met. He gave endlessly, never pondering what he would receive in return.
    He taught me what real friendship really is. Sam showed myself and those around him the true meaning of graciousness, why we need to be kinder and more gentle to those around us, and how precious this life really is. He was an endless example of self-sacrifice be it in his place of work, with his friends or at home with his family. He wanted the best for those around him and worked so hard to please. I knew not one hour that I did not feel pure joy and laughter when I was in his presence. Thank you Sam for all that you gave me. I will cherish your teachings forever, and will do my best to carry myself through life with your inspiration of true grace.

    It is with such sadness and deep regret that we recognize the most untimely passing of Saeed (Sam, to some of us who knew him here in town, I think). We knew him briefly as a neighbor, but will never forget and will always recognize the lovely family that the Khademis are, and Sam’s dedication to them.

    Daily, he would walk his children to the bus stop, always with a smile and a kind word for everyone, which I remember thinking, was such a lovely way to start the day.

    We send our deepest sympathy to all of you, along with our prayers, and the thought that we will try to emulate the kindness, graciousness and class that Sam exhibited as we go on we with our journeys here.

    Please know that we are thinking of you all at such an extraordinarily difficult time.
