What a lovely fellow, I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

I remember being at the Campbell home once and Sandy kept going out to the backyard, bringing back several leaves and getting me to guess what plant they came from, then delighting in telling me their name. He was always very charming. All our best to his family.
