John Aloysius Campbell

So sorry to hear of John's passing.

Dear Margaret, Matt and Michael; I am truly sorry to hear that my friend John passed. I just returned from a week in South Carolina, so unfortunately I missed his memorial service. Fortunately, I was able to briefly chat with him a couple of weeks ago by phone, and he was his usual positive self that I have grown to know and admire. I understand that Michael wrote the obit for the Times Standard and I will have to say "job well done". John would be very pleased. I will miss him because...

Dear Margaret and Family: I am so sorry to hear of your lose. I did not know John personally, but of coarse I knew of him and only heard wonderful things about him from PALCO employees and community members. Margaret, you were of great assistance to my husband and myself mailing off many packages from your new store. I remember how nice you were and how proud you spoke of John and his work in the community.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Ms. Margaret:
I worked at staying in contact with you and John over the past several years even though I have moved from Humboldt County. In my last conversation with John we talked about the TV Series AX MEN on Life working in the Woods. Over the years I read much about John and Timber, but more than that I built logging roads for PL and drove logging trucks on PL Land (as an independent contractor), so I knew about the land he ultimately managed.. More so, I knew John as someone I...

To the Campbell family~

My dad, Cecil Mangrum, and brother, Kendall Mangrum both worked at PL for many years with John. He was truly a genuine person and always called everyone by their first name. That's the kind of guy he was.

I always enjoyed going with Lori to babysit you boys and I would bring my nephews, Reggie and Lars to play. Those were the good ole days back in Scotia.

The entire community lost a very good man.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mathew, Michael & families,
I'm thinking of you boys and all the happy memories I had with you and your family in Redway. I loved being a part of your life. Michael, I remember your dad always calling you "Little Tuffy" and Mathew we were always looking for your blanket, "Bubby". Your dad was a great man and I see alot of him in both of you. You're dad was so proud of you from the time you were born and now into the fine young men you've become.

My thoughts and prayers are with...

To the Campbell Family,
Please except our deepest sympathy for your great loss.

We were neighbors, two houses up from John and Cindy, back in the early 80's. I babysat Matthew and Michael a few times. I got a kick out of them playing 'PacMan' at our house. Sweet boys!! I caught a glimpse of them on the tv news of the Memorial (I wanted to go, but was not feeling well.) Matthew and Michael, you both have grown up into fine young men and I know you've brought your Dad and family...

Margaret,
I have fond memories of John. He was a true gentleman. I informed Frank Riggs of his passing and he recalled our many good times, support and conversations with John. You and I lost our husbands within one month (Mine September 26). We both sure picked winners, didn't we? I KNOW how you are feeling. Love.

John's family and his community lost a great man. I always admired his confident but yet humble demeanor. I remember growing up playing basketball with his son Matt, and Mike was a few years younger. Both Matt and Mike grew up to be fine men themselves as a result of their father's influence and leadership.
