What a shame. He was heavily involved in woodwork all his life and a great help to a lot of learning woodworkers. He'll be missed. :(
I agree, talented, unassuming and worked to the end, and for me anyway, someone to aspire to.
What a great loss to woodworking. 93 so he had a good life, but somehow you expect such inspirational people as Maloof to live forever.
George Nakashima nearly 20 years ago, Art Carpenter and Tage Frid a few years ago, now Sam Maloof. Gradually the ranks of the woodworking greats are thinning. The next generation of "greats" certainly have some big shoes to fill.

That’s such terrible news. A massive loss the worlds woodwork community:(
He was a great man. A humble woodworker, thats how he wanted to be remembered. Not an artist but a woodworker.
A great man who contributed so much to the industry, his name will live on for many years to come
He's left a great legacy, no doubt will be missed greatly. I'd like his bandsaw, it made him look like a genius:;:;:;
Cheers

It's sad news...
Amazing woodworker, very humble and open to sharing. He'll certainly be missed, but leaves a lot of inspiration and energy in the furniture He has made and the books he has written.

A really nice Sam Maloof story from Chris Schwarz of Popular Woodworking

However I was very pleased to hear of his age 93, it just goes to show that working in an atmosphere around timber doesn't mean it is an hazardous pursuit.
