It is with a heavy heart that I’ve been asked to inform the Samba community that Lisa Meier’s husband Steve passed away on Monday January 10th.
Lisa texted me the following this evening;

My husband Steve passed away on Monday January 10th. I’d really like to post something on The Samba because he was my biggest fan and support whenever we would go to the Shows and a lot of my VW friends knew him.
He will be buried at Hillside Memorial in Culver City, Los Angeles. The service is on Tuesday January 18th at noon. Graveside service. Maybe we could get a few VW people to attend with their VWS?? Thank you.


What a wonderful way to support Lisa and the memory of Steve.
Wish I were closer❤️

I never had the pleasure of meeting Lisa's husband Steve.
Dr. Steven Mark Sachs
Lisa shared this video a 2011 commencement speech. Seems he was quite the renaissance man. I sure would have liked to have known him.
Lisa sent this text to me along with the short video. I don't think she would mind me sharing.

"Hi Mark, Thanks so much for posting on The Samba.
This video is how I like to remember Steve. He was so accomplished in so many areas. He loved to teach. He was a psychology professor for over 37 years. He also taught computer applications and was a career counselor. He loved life and was always up for trying new things. He even learned how to haul and transport my Ghias. One of the perks when buying our house was having a shop where I could work on my cars and he was always willing to lend a hand
