My father Ken Campbell noticed Kermie's obituary in the paper. We used to manage Newton Commonwealth Golf Course. He summed it up: "That was a good man who really, really loved golf and who knew how to have fun." Our hope is that his family can find comfort in memories because knowing Kermie there must be lots of great ones.

Dear Betty, Denise, Roger, Ricky and to all those who loved Kermie -
I don't have any words that will take
away the sorrow, but I want you to know I care.
Words are not needed
we shall never forget
For those we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen unheard,
but always near
So loved, so missed
so very dear.
much love to All know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dearest Uncle Kermie, Please waltz with my Mother among the clouds and make her smile again. I have precious memories of summer days with you and Aunt Betty and my cousins where I felt love, security, and laughter and never wanted to leave. I love you.
