“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of an amazing teacher, Sam Loizzo. Born in Kenosha, Sam taught at Craig High School in my hometown for over three decades. Over his career, he taught thousands of students. I was lucky enough to be in his government class my junior year. As a teacher, he taught about the institutions that make our country so great. He provided all of us an appreciation for the United States of America. He also provided an understanding that we are always working to form a more perfect Union. Sam left a mark on everyone he met. In addition to being a teacher, he was a talented photographer and sports enthusiast. Most importantly, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and a friend to many in my hometown of Janesville. After he retired from teaching, he dove into photography. He was a constant presence in the community, always working hard to capture the moment. While Sam may no longer be with us, his legacy lives on in Janesville and in the countless lives that he has touched. I am proud that I have memories of Sam that I have captured. On behalf of the class of 1999 and Craig High School, and on behalf of the thousands that he touched, Sam will be missed. Happy 100th Birthday to Grandma Steil”
