Sam Dressner and Stress
April 3, 2009
Sam Dressner had a number of unique ways of dealing with stress. When he was a younger man and I was a child. living with him, my mother Irene and my brother Joe we lived in Queens and he worked in the family business All In One Suppliers.
When my father Sam, got stressed out most likely he became angry. You could see the anger rising in his face and neck because he got reder and rerder and is voice raised. Apparently he showed his anger at work and he definitely did at home. He was not the type of man you wanted to cross under any circumstances.
A second way my father Sam worked with strerss was smoking. He may have smoked two to three packages of citarettes each day. At the time they were much cheaper and both he and my mother and my brother Joe smoked.
It was in the fifties throuugh the seventies where smoking was accepted and people did not heed the warning about smoking being a cause of lung cancer or heart attack.
When he was fifty eight or fifty nine he began to get angina and had difficulties breathing. He has a small heart attack and decided to have by-pass heart surgury. This was in the nineteen seventies and I was working at Seton Hall University as an assistant professor of Political Science haveing completed my Ph.D. in Public Administration.
After his heart attack and the bypass surgery he was sixty years old and he made an attempt to stop getting angry. He gave up cigarettes cold turkey and made an attempt to lower his stress or find better ways to let it out. This is a terrible way to live with stress. It was the dammage to his heart from smoking that eventually brought him down. I love him, he was my business partner and I learned about not being an angry person.
