Sammy Bartholomew
October 5, 1949 - December 16, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we that we announce the passing of our long-time club member and our friend Sam "Sammy" Bartholomew.
Sammy was a real character at the club. Always lighthearted and joking around about whatever the topic at hand happened to be. Rest assured whatever the situation Sammy would have you belly laughing about it in no time. His sense of humor knew no bounds.
The man just had personality and character to spare and was loved by all. In our Club Family Sammy was the "fun uncle".
Sammy also lived a quiet life of dedication: not only to the various Clubs he belonged to, Shooting sports, hunting, and fishing, but also volunteered for over 30 years at the Craig Beach Fire Department. Sammy was retired from Thomas Steel in Warren, Ohio.
Sammy was one of kind. He always put his best foot forward and was always ready with a bottle of hot sauce he carried in a holster on his hip. If you ever needed a laugh, some hot sauce, or a Remington 870 Sammy was unquestionably your guy. He will definitely be sorely missed.
