Dear Cynthia, David and Alan Baruch Dayan HaEmet. We are so sad to hear about Uncle Sam's passing. Our thoughts are prayers are with you. We will remember his generous and kind spirit, amazing hugs, as well as his stories. His ability to recite dafs of Talmud (I would name a machezet and he would recite the opening lines). We know that education was important to him, and he took courses at York after his retirement, We will miss his company at shabbat dinners and family events. May we only know of simchas

He had an historical life and I so enjoyed meeting him, reading his memoirs and helping create a charitable legacy for him and your family.

He was incredibly friendly; he knew everyone and everyone knew him. There was something so special about getting a smile from Sam -- it always made my day.

Thank you for sharing him with us. To have met him, to have seen his joy at your tables and at your simchas and to have listened to him share his wisdom as he shared his unforgettable story of survival from the Holocaust was an honour. He became everyone’s Zaidy; so warm, kind and brilliant. His family are all his treasured rewards of life but he welcomed everyone and the Grad Zaidy was really a GRAND Zaidy. We will always think of him fondly, remember his lessons of the Shoah and miss him. May his memory be for a blessing. Anjie and Family

To the Grad family it is with great sorrow that I heaard of the death of Sam. It was just a week ago that he told parts of his life story to those of us who attended the Holocaust Rememberance programme at Beth Emeth. His bravery and courage is much appreciated. How lucky we were to have heard him speak. My relationship with Sam was very casual --- a smile, a hello on Shabbat morning. He was a charming and gentle man, in my experience. I wish you all good memories and happier times

Dear Alan, David, Cynthia and the Grad family. Our deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved father. Sam and I set side by side every Shabbat and holiday at Shul for more than a quarter of a century. Most of the time we spoke in Hebrew and I admired him as if he was my older brother. I considered him a true תלמיד חכם for his deep knowledge of every weekly portion and for the phenomenal memory he had of the רש"י commentary of the portion. He also told me a lot about his Holocaust experience and his later service in the Israeli army before finally coming to Canada. We will forever miss his soft and caring personality and his warm and loving character. יהי זכרו ברוך.

Dear Grad family. I met your father over 30 years ago at what use to be called “the Y”. Our lockers were a few away from each other. We became close friends. We had so much in common. Both born in 1931, survived the Holocaust, went to Palestine and later served in the Israeli army before finally coming to Canada. Sam was a pleasure to talk to with. We spoke about so many topics ranging from family to Israeli politics. We never lost touch, not even through COVID. He will be missed and the JCC won’t be the same for me.

Dearest Grad family, Sam was a wonderful , kind and generous man. He and Josette were dear friends of my parents and often at their home where we got to know them very well. We also loved seeing him at the JCC all these years, staying extremely active. He will be missed by many, and his memory cherished along with Josette’s. May Sam’s memory be for a blessing. BDE. From the Buchbinder Family
