So sorry for your loss, you all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Sam. The love he had for his wife, Jill, was honestly amazing. The love and pride he had for his children was incredible. He always welcomed me into his home (often bowing). He will be sorely missed by many. Peace everlasting, Sam.

Hi I’m Francesca Pieper I’m praying for you love you
Hi Sam Cuba sorry for your loss I’m praying for you 🤧.
I just now learned of Sam’s passing. I’m a local claims adjuster and although we worked on opposite sides of situations, he was one of the strongest advocates for his clients I’ve ever run across, and all the while kind and composed. I am deeply sorry for his family’s loss and the loss to the small community of excellent personal injury attorneys in Chicago.
