To the Catron Family,
Emmett was a great friend and teacher at the Control Center. When I transferred to Power Dispatching, Emmett took the time to explain details of field work and help build my confidence to meet the challanges of learning my new job. Emmette was missed when he retired and I am sorry for your loss of great father and husband. May God bless all of you.

To The Catron Family,
Emmett was working as a troubleman when I first started as a dispatcher and I was always happy to see he was on the same shift. Always a gentlement and wonderful coworker. We need more Emmetts in our world.
