We sure do miss you Sammy. I appreciate everything you were to me and my family. You were more like a brother than a friend.

I thought you seemed shy. You were a very, very good sheriff!

May you rest in Heaven safe in the arms of Jesus. You are truly one of Pulaski Counties heros. There is a Tribute to Sheriff Sam Catron listed on Find A Grave on the Internet.

What a beautiful family you have. They gave a father and a son to be heros to a nation that needs more heros. You and your father were officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice and you will be remembered and celebrated through the lives of your family and the officers who knew you. In their loss, your family grieves with others who lost heros and your brother is a becon of light during a very dark time for families.

Sam,

I only met you once, many years ago while working with the National Guard interdiction teams, but you left a lasting impression on me that I will never forget.

You were a great lawman, and the residents of Pulaski County suffered a great loss when you were taken away.
