Not sure what to say?

A memorial celebration will be held for Sam Landrum on Saturday, October 8 at 1:30 PM. It will be at the Heather Gardens Country Club, 2888 S. Heather Gardens Way, Aurora, CO 80014. We look forward to seeing all of Dad's friends and students.

Mr. Landrum was a model for my own teaching and coaching when I went into education. When I was injured and in the hospital he was the only person from LJHS to check on me. I will always look up to my teacher and coach. My prayers and thoughts go our to the Landrum family. Thank you for sharing him with us.

I student taught American History under Sam at La Junta High School the Spring of 1963, He was a wonderful teacher and a great Basketball and Golf coach.

Sam I thank you for all the great memories of playing golf with you. I would settle any day for all your bad shots,

Sam Landrum was my basketball coach and history teacher in Las Animas in 1954-1955. He was a great coach and teacher. He probably has already located a golf course.
