from Pierre Baldi

I have known Sam since his Caltech days. He was brilliant, enthusiastic, and engaging.

He visited UCI not so long ago, it seems like yesterday, and gave a beautiful talk on how to make the sky searchable.

We had dinner afterwards, discussing stars, Second Life, and so many other topics.

He charmed my children with his warmth and sense of humor.

He will be missed and remembered.
