    Chris and Kevin, I send my condolences to you today. Your Dad was a good, caring man. He was so devoted to making a better life for teachers. Know that both of you are in my thoughts. Kevin, your winning smile and delightful personality are instilled in me. How I loved being your teacher, and your Mom knew I felt that way!
    May the good memories of life with both your Mom and Dad bring you comfort.

    I first met John (andKathy) at the first ARA delegate assembly that I attended after moving to Arizona. I always admired and respected John for his insight, his humor, and his determination to advocate for his convictions. My condolences to all of you.

    Oh my goodness, I came across this tonight talking to my husband about my favorite teachers in high school. Mr. Campbell was always so much fun my freshman year learning Greek mythology. Oddly enough my second favorite teacher was his son for Social studies. They made learning fun. I then went to be asst my sr yr for Chris Campbell. I will never forget those two teachers, it always made sense they were father and son. I always meant to go back and visit. RIP Mr. Campbell, and I hope you are well little Mr. Capbell

    I will miss my good friend John. He and Kathy were with me through many great adventures with AEA and NEA Retired. We worked and played together. I appreciated John’s advice and support. He was well know and liked by our association members. When he rose to speak at meetings people listened! His work and voice help move our association forward. Rest in peace my good friend.
