"It is certainly a sad day for the citizens of Natchitoches and the state of Louisiana. Natchitoches has lost an icon with the passing of Mayor Joe Sampite'. He touched so many lives through his years of coaching and twenty years as mayor ... He was a mentor of mine as I served with him while I was city councilman at large. Our prayers certainly go out to his family. Mayor Sampite's legacy will live on forever in Natchitoches."<ref name=adtt>{{cite web|url=http://www.thetowntalk.com/article/20120518/NEWS01/120518020/Former-Natchitoches-Mayor-Joe-Sampite-dies|title=Former Natchitoches Mayor Joe Sampite' dies|publisher=''The Alexandria Daily Town Talk'', May 18, 2012|accessdate=May 20, 2012}}</ref></blockquote>

David West, the Northwestern State University news bureau director in 2012, described Sampite' as "a tireless advocate for Natchitoches and NSU. He loved NSU a lot. He was always available to speak to freshmen at our Freshman Connection and was a commencement speaker at one of our graduations. Mayor Sampite' was one of a kind."<ref name=adtt/> A Joe Sampite' Scholarship Fund was established at the Northwestern State University Foundation.<ref name=obit/>
