Las Vegas Review-Journal (Sunday)
SAMUEL R TOMASELLO
Saturday morning, January 12th, our beloved son, Sam left us for his new journey taking all our love, wishes and dreams. His dear giving soul will be sorely missed. Sam was a true "Mensch"; helping, solving problems, and always considerate. If you needed something you called Sam; now he has gotten the ultimate call, and of course answered.
He always accomplished the goals he set for himself; graduated Shorewood H. S. 1986, then onto UWM, graduating with majors in Accounting and Finance while running both a Landscaping & Parking Business. Sam moved to Las Vegas in 2000 & worked at the Venetian Hotel for 18 years in Guest Services plus doing Taxes & Financial Planning for 14 years. Sam worked tirelessly for 12 years to bring the love of his life, Darling Nhan, now his wife of 2 years, here to the US from Vietnam. She was his everything and how lucky we are to have her and her beautiful family join ours.
His sisters treasured Sam as their special treasure, holding wonderful memories of games, picnics, and family road trips. All friends were welcome and the more the merrier. He loved nature especially the mountains and oceans. Our prayers are lifting him into the oneness of the universe where he will always be at peace his lovely nature. His courage in battling ALS left us with the determination to be as brave in carrying on. May his memory always be a blessing. Sam is survived by his wife Nhan Pham, Mom, Belle, Dad, Salvatore, sisters, Sara Tomasello (Larry Gritton), Andrea Tomasello, Jessica Tomasello (Scott Solomon), nieces, Zoee Talaska, Rayana Tomasello, Arielle Solomon, nephews, Eliot Tomasello (Angie), Adam Solomon; and many dear Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and friends.
There will be a private celebration of Sam's life here in Arizona and one to be announced for him in Las Vegas. A charitable donation in Sam's memory will be appreciated by the ALS Foundation. Arrangements by Sinai Mortuary, Phoenix, AZ 85016 Services Pending.
