Geoffrey Campbell Obituary
Not long after arriving in America in 1999, Geoff Campbell was sitting at a Midtown bar one night. A woman started making fun of his British accent, but instead of taking offense, he simply laughed along with her. Afterward, they e-mailed back and forth, and he asked her on a date.
"It was one of those crazy nights," recalls Caroline Burbank about that date. "You have so much to talk about that you lose track of time." Mr. Campbell, 31, later proposed to Ms. Burbank and took her to visit his family in North Hampton, England. They had just returned from a trip there in August. Mr. Campbell, who worked for Reuters Consulting Group, "was just a gentle, kind soul," said Ms. Burbank, who shared an apartment with him and two cats in Chelsea. "If someone new came to the office, he was always the one to invite them out for a drink."

It is impossible to imagine [no connection] to anyone that died on this day. Bringing us to the realization how we are all connected, in some way, and share the loss of each soul as brother. We speak of family, and yet we do not understand how close we are till we lose someone and find out others [we will never meet] feel that loss and pray for us.

Geoff , I just miss you so much. It is just so unfair that you left this world so early. You were always just so caring and loving to whoever you met, This is what I always remember about you. I was always so proud to just be your brother. It makes me so sad you never met any of my 3 children. love as always your little baby brother Rob x

Geoff,
Such a Kind and considerate school friend.
Spending time with you and your family when we were young we could all see what a warm and friendly character you were.
It was not a surprise for us to hear that you were working at the world trade centre because we always knew that your career would bring you success in whatever you did.
It was, however, a terrible shock to hear that you were one of the people so tragically taken from this world in the Twin Towers.
Our thoughts are with your partner and family, and all of the families of the people that were lost on that day.
We will carry great memories of our frienship with us all for the rest of our lives until we meet again.

I first met Geoffrey, when he joined the Market Risk team of the Investment Bank I worked for in London in 1996.
He was indeed a very friendly guy and I remember enjoying his company over a drink on many occassions.
My very best wishes to those closest to him, particularly his fiancee. He leaves behind happy and positive memories of a truly nice guy.

I participated in an international event called the Rolling Requiem and everyone involved at my school was given a button of someone who was lost on September 11th. I happened to get the name of Geoffrey Thomas Campbell and now that I've read his biography, I feel lucky to have gotten such a great person. He sounded kind and humorous and generous. Although I never knew him, I feel a great sadness that he and many others were lost.

Geoff is missed and thought of every day. Many thoughts and memories of our funny discussions over a drink still remain in my mind and although our friendship was too short .. it will be forever cherished. Caroline - he loved you so very much and you were both lucky to have found eachother. You will find eachother again in another life! If you need me .. I am here for you!

Caroline,
I am so sorry for you. Geoff was considerate and generous and a nice guy. I remember one evening last summer having a beer in his back garden with Samantha and Adrian. Even the cats were friendly.

We are sorry for your loss of Geoffrey. May his life and love live on in you. Our hearts cry with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
