Thomas Campbell Obituary
Thomas J. Campbell, 84, of Spring Township, passed away the morning of June 10, 2012, in St. Joseph Hospital.

Tom was one of the three original founders of Associated Steam Specialty Company, where he also served as a sales engineer, retiring in 2005.

Spent a lot of time with Tom after basketball games. He was a very intelligent person. It was a pleasure to be with him. Miss those nights.

Tom was a good friend for forty years. I met him while coaching his three sons in basketball. He will be sorely missed.

As a former Lansdale neighbor of Tom I had many opportunities to see what a solid citizen he was. Going to Michigan to support "Big Blue" was high on his fun/business list. Our condolences to the family. May he rest in Peace.
