Thomas Samuels 1938-2013


Thomas Samuels Obituary

Dr. Thomas E. Samuels

1938- October 14, 2013

 

 

The Samuels family is saddened to announce the death of Thomas E. Samuels, Ph.D., beloved brother, father, grandfather, uncle and friend.

 

Dr. Samuels was considered by his peers one of the finest psychologists in Northern California. He was a generous and warm person of stature who helped his fellow man at every turn.

 

A noted athlete, Tom served with distinction as a captain in the U.S. military.

 

As his older brother Bob wrote in a poem to him on his recent 76th birthday,

 

'Tom, you've had quite a career,

 

You're a great listener, that's clear;

 

But more than that, you're a teacher, too,

 

Docs like you are very few.'

 

More than being a clinician, Tom lit up every room he walked into, and found satisfaction in bringing joy to others.

 

A funeral service will be held on October 18, 2013 at 2:00pm at Skylawn Memorial Park on Hwy 92 and Skyline Boulevard, San Mateo.
