Samuel L. Foggie Jr.
April 6, 1953-October 9, 2009
Sam’s philosophy was his belief that addictions and all of its life threatening consequences are treatable and preventable. His life mission and desire was to provide a “person-centered” therapy approach to these aims.
No one person should be denied the help they seek because of race, age, sexuality, culture, socio-economic status, and/or illness (i.e., addiction). Sam’s work ethic, concern for people, and constant desire for healing, allowed him to master his efforts. As a licensed clinician and addiction specialist, Sam was able to champion the courageous efforts it takes to overcome chemical dependency and provide an inclusive path for those individuals who truly seek freedom for themselves and their loved ones as he spent the last twenty plus years of his life seeking his freedom.
Sam was a lover of music and played his tenor saxophone daily as his passion and solace. Playing jazz offered him the opportunities to maintain balance, escape from life’s lows and provided him the energy to serve the community with clarity, humility, and honesty.
Sam leaves the blueprint to continue his life’s mission; we make efforts to continue serving this community in his memory. In the frank words of our friend Sam, “Trust God, clean house, and help somebody!”
When I am dead pray for me a little, Think of me sometimes, but not too much.
It is not good for you to allow your thoughts to dwell too long on the dead.
Think of me now and again as I was in life, at some moment which it is pleasant to recall, but not too long.
Leave me in peace as I shall leave you too, in peace.
While you live, let your thoughts be with the living.- Author Unknown
