Cloves Campbell Sr.

My condolences to the Campbell family.

While growing up in South Phoenix, I remember Mr. Campbell performing his morning exercise of walking along Roeser Rd. wearing his straw hat and carrying a stick. He would wave to you and keep the same walking pace.

My heart felt sympathy goes out to the Campbell family. Cloves Sr. was a very special person in heart and in mind. I delivered mail to the Arizona Informant for years and he treated me like one of his staff members, He even orchestrated a baby shower at the A.I. office for me & my son(Michael) You will be truly missed Sir!!!!

Farewell to a great leader. May God care and provide peace to family and friends. He has truly served and contributed to mankind. The dash between his birth and death has been fulfilled.

I began working for Central Arizona Light & Power Co. (CALAPCO) in March 1947 @ 19 years of age. I was an office boy for CALAPCO. When I met Cloves he was a night janitor for the company. Bill Bell, Sr. was also a night janitor and Leola Dykes was the coffee room attendant. We were located in the Title and Trust Bldg. then on First Avenue. Cloves was always so pleasant and smiley and easy to talk to. In time things began to change for Black people and Cloves got to be a meter reader and...

To the family of Mr. Campbell, Sr. He was always a pleasant person each time I came to the Arizona Informant Office. His friendly and pleasant demeanor and genuine concern for announcements and especially for my family will certainly be missed. He was truely a gift from God to all of us. May God continue to strengthen your family during this time of bereavement.

Debra and Carol,
I am sorry to hear about your lost. Your father was a kind and loving man. You and your family will be in my prayers.

My deepest heart felt sympathy goes out to Mr. Campbell's family. We have truly lost a great pioneer who helped make a tremendous change not only in South Phoenix but across the valley. He will be truly missed.

May God be with you in your time of need. Mr. Campbell and all the wonderfull thing he accomplished will never be forgotten.

With deepest sympathy to the family. Tanya and I wish to express our sincere appreciation for Mr. Campbell's leadership and pursuit of civil rights to African Americans in Arizona. He was indeed a man of conviction and you shall have our prayers. God Bless you all.
