Samuel Hartman Title, 87, passed away peacefully on October 14, 2012 surrounded by his wife Sally and his loving family. A West Hartford native, Sam was born on July 14, 1925 to Melvin and Fancheon Title. He graduated from the Loomis School in 1943 and from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1946. After graduation from West Point, Sam served in the occupation of Japan from 1946 to 1949 and then served in the Korean War. He served ten more years in the Army Reserves. He went in to the insurance business with his father and ran the Title Insurance Agency on Pearl Street in downtown Hartford until 1990. He worked for the National Life of Vermont until his retirement in 1995. He served on the Board of Directors of Mechanics Savings Bank and the Hartman Tobacco Company for 20 years. Sam dedicated his life to public service. He served as Treasurer of the United Way of Greater Hartford for 25 years, receiving its Community Service Award, the United Way’s highest volunteer award, in 1980. He served as an officer of Mount Sinai Hospital and on the Board of the Boys’ Clubs of Hartford. He also served as treasurer of the Greater Hartford Jewish Federation. An avid golfer and life-long member of Tumble Brook Country Club, he served as its President from 1976 to 1978. Sam is survived by his wife of 57 years, Sally Gershel Title, and his three children. He leaves his son, David and his wife Laurie of Fairfield, CT; daughter Diane Title Harris and her husband, Roger of Overland Park, KS; and daughter Betty Title Feigenbaum and her husband, Seth, of West Hartford; and his sister, Elaine Lowengard of West Hartford. His days were brightened by his ten cherished grandchildren: Kim, Nathan and Chelsea Harris; Russell, Sarah, Jack and Robin Title; and Dana, Max and Maya Feigenbaum.

To: Sally, David and Laurie, Diane and Roger, Betty and Seth and to Sam's 10 grandchildren;
I was saddened to hear about Sam's passing. We had been very close friends since the fifties; golf, cards, cigars and business. We drifted apart in recent years, but our friendship continued to exist even though it was not as visible as it once had been.
YA was one of a kind, and Diane I credit you with creating a new nickname for me. When you were just learning to talk you couldn't pronounce my true nickname,"Mr. Mule." Instead it came out, "Mr. Noodle."
I'm leaving for Fl. tomorrow and regrettably will not be attending Sam's service.
My deepest sympathies to all of you.

Mr. Noodle

I have memories of Sam that include good days of the Hartford Capitols basketball team at Bloomfield High. I also have recent memories of Sam being in attendance at many Bloomfield High concerts and functions and finally as my playing partner on the 1st official day that Wintonbury Hills golf course opened. Sam was a great man that lived life to the fullest and enjoyed living. To the family, my deepest sympathies. May your memories be full of joy.

I am very saddened to hear of Sam's passing. He was a dear friend to both of my parents, Carol and Dutch Selwyn. He had a wonderful sense of humor -- my father would be laughing before Sam had even started the story -- and was always very, very kind. My thoughts go out to the Title family. Amy Selwyn
