Dr. Sami Saad,professor
at UWWC, dies at age 60Dr. Sami Michel Saad, 60, a professor of botany and biology at the University of Wisconsin Washington County since 1971, died Saturday at his home in Elm Grove of an apparent heart attack.
Dr. Joel Rodney UWWC dean, said the college was "saddened and stunned" at the sudden loss.
Famous for feeding students edible mushrooms on nature walks and sharing many Middle Eastern mushroom recipes, he was affectionately referred to as "Mr. Shroom."
"Sami was one of the students’ favorite professors," Rodney said. "He was as kind and gentle to them as he was knowledgeable in his field. He was as passionate about continuing his own learning process as he was about teaching and sharing that knowledge with his students."
Saad was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and educated at the city’s premier schools, including the International College (a high school run by the American University) and the American University of Beirut.
After his undergraduate work, he followed his interest in plant pathology to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he obtained his masters and doctorate degrees in 1965 and 1969, respectively.
Saad also worked with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture during the summer months as an inspector of state nurseries.
Ed Dommisse, professor emeritus of physical geography, was one of Saad’s first colleagues on the newly opened UWWC campus.
"We were colleagues going back to 1971," Dommisse said. "Sami was just a very dear friend and certainly an exemplary teacher. He set very high standards for students, but he also was very caring. He wanted them to do well in his classes and was very demanding but fair."
Dommisse said Saad kept track of some of his best students after they left UWWC.
"He also established great friendships with students who went on into fields related to his," Dommisse said. "It was always a joy to see these people come back years afterward and renew these friendships."
"He also was available, so much, for the students. I think this was just outstanding that students could feel free to come in and spend time with him regarding areas they didn’t understand. I think students really appreciated that."
Saad's widow, Rose Saad, said he was a kind, gentle father, as well as teacher. "To know Sami was to love him," she said. "He always had a friendly smile, a kind word and a helping hand for everyone. He was a wonderful, loving father and husband, and will be deeply missed by his family and friends here and in Lebanon."
The Saad's have two daughters, Marissa, 14, and Nicole, 11.
