Dear Mr. Campbell, a man a with a heart of gold and the best school administrator that I have ever known. Go with God.

Rest peacefully.. you did your good work on earth; go relax with the angels.

Mr. Bud Campbell was the principal during my years at NMHS. He was very nice and approachable. He is why we all have great memories of our time at NMHS and all events associated with High School. RIP Mr. Campbell.

Bud was my principal at NMHS from 69-74. He helped me in so many ways in my educational career, but most of all was his upbeat attitude and his love for kids and his staff. He was my friend and mentor. Last year I reached out to Bud and we corresponded for months. We shared alot about life, our families and our past.

Mr. Campbell was a stabilizing force at NMHS and he made sure that everyone complied with the rules and "toed the line". He treated everyone fairly and he earned the respect of the student body & the staff. He was a good man and a good friend!

Thank you for always working extremely hard to keep all of safe, happy and healthy! You will be missed! Can't wait to shine above in the Heavens with you Grandaddy!

Mr. Campbell you will be missed, but not forgotten.

Sorry for your loss
