Sad and so unexpected. Condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.💔

[@queenofscots839]

I remember him all through the years… condolences 💐

[@brokenwrench404]

Sudden deaths are usually a heart attack or an accident. Since he called in sick I’d guess it was a heart attack. Rip Sam

[@chrishultgren777]

as wealthy and important to the station they really messed up not taking him to get an ekg when he felt sick. he's 60+

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@reefultz309]

I'm so grateful that the other parts of the world 🌎 KNOW of Sam's work. He is an absolute LEGEND.
I've known him the same length of time I've known my oldest daughter. He, Carlos, Mark & Barbara (KTLA Morning Show 1991) were my newborns on-tv honorary "Godparents" .
His passing has taken the wind out of my sails. Sam will be missed.
His legacy is cemented.
Rest in peace

KTLA isn't a rival but rather partners in bringing unbiased news to your local audience. Great segment. May he rest in peace.
