Today is May 7, 2022 and I just learned of Sam's passing. I was an LL.M. student at the University of Florida in 1985-86 and I remember when Sam came to give a guest lecture. His advice to use was simple: look at where a case is ultimately going to go and just go there. Don't get stuck on the step-by-step details.

Sam was one of two brilliant lawyers that had the most impact on the way I practice law. I regret that I never had the chance to have private time with him to thank him for his lecture and to tell him how influential it was to me.

I attended law school at UF with Sam. I've met very few people in my life with the heart, smarts, good humor and compassion that Sam had. Although we maintained sporadic contact over the years in Miami where we practiced law, I deeply regret that I didn't see him more.

Sam Ullman was my professor at the University of Florida where I was a student in the Tax LL.M. program. He was knowledgeable and kind and influential in my career path. He encouraged me to get involved with the Tax Section of the Florida Bar and even took my husband and I for dinner at our first Amelia Island conference. I later had the honor at presenting at the "Ullman year in review" CLE program. Such a smart and kind and humble man. I will miss seeing him at events and I wish his family well.

I didn't know Sam well, unfortunately, but I knew him well enough to comment often to friends on what a gentle, warm, overall nice man he was. We would see one another at B'nai, at a Seder from time to time, or at the gym. The tributes to him at the funeral today expanded on what my husband and I saw in him. My husband was on the Board of B'nai with Sam for a time, and he also commented on the great job Sam was doing.
We will miss seeing him and sharing pleasantries because we always came away from even a casual conversation feeling good.

I met Sam 18 years ago when we were members of the Miami City Club and worked in the Southeast building. He was always a pleasure to be around; a gentleman; a good sense of humor. A super nice person and his leaving us is our loss. RIP Sam....

A lawyer's lawyer. A serious man. A gifted scholar. A dear friend. His was all of these things -- and more. His passing is a great loss to us all. To me, Shakespeare said it best: “He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.” - Hamlet, a1, s2.

Sam was always so caring and friendly. I am going to miss him terribly. His involvement in the Gainesville Amateur Radio Club was immensely appreciated. My prayers and condolence are with his family and all of the friends who will miss him.

Sam and I enjoyed conversations about our ham radio experiences as teenagers. I liked him a lot, and will miss him.

I knew Sam when we were fellow clerks on the Tax Court of the United States as it was called then . He clerked for Judge Hoyt and I clerked for Judge Forrester. We constantly got together and discussed many things including the combination of Gatorade and the University of Florida football team. Gatorade had recently come on the market and Sam was convinced that the team was now invincible. It didn't surprise me that Sam eventually ended up at the University of Florida .

After we left the Tax Court, I did not see Sam again. However through mutual acquaintances we kept track of each other and sent regards. It was through one of those, I was informed of Sam's passing. I am pleased he led a good and productive life, but sorry to see it has ended..
