Obituary for Edward Sample

"May God bless and keep you, my friend. We all remember your kindnesses and the generosity of your time. Thanks for your service in the Avon Lake High School weight room......you are a friend to many."

"Best brother in the world. Many Great memories of our lifes together! I will miss you!"

"Our family (YMCA instructor, members, and h.s. students) are very sorry to hear of the loss of a great, strong, funny, silly, knowledgeable, selfless gentleman."

"What an incredibly kind man! In my mind for the rest of my life (especially raising my own children) Mr. Sample forever set my view of what a Principal should look like! Admittedly, I spent some additional one on one time with him in his office. He always seemed to smile with a twinkle and speak patiently trying to correct my behavior! May the Lord grant his entire family and friends with His peace and comfort! Thank you, Mr. Sample, for your seven years of love and mentoring. A true Avon Lake and Redwood School treasure!"

"My sincere condolences. I am 66 years old and there's a lot I don't remember. But I do have fond memories of Mr Sample as a teacher at Westview and a principle at Redwood. The kindest man, a patient teacher and a wonderful role model to everyone who knew him."

"My all time favorite teacher! Compassionate and kind to everyone. A naturally gifted teacher. A very special human being."
