Neil Allison Redlands Campbell

I have known Neil my whole life and my heart goes out to Rochelle and Allison in these times. My family and the Campbell's are very close and his passing has affected us all deeply. I take solace in the fact that he led a truly remarkable life that was blessed with a loving family. For me, his vision and humility is an inspiration. It pleases me to know that his books have preserved his vision for so many. Neil, on behalf of the Inouye's, we will miss you.

As a busy high school Biology teacher I often forget to read the paper. When a colleague told me that she had read about Neil's passing I said it couldn't be. Now I know it is true. We have lost a truly wonderful soul. As a young college student at SBVC thirty+ years ago I was priviledged to know Neil Campbell as a kind and dedicated young professor. He and Pius Horner were inpirations to me. Now that I have been a Biology teacher for nearly thirty years I can say that I had a great start...

I am in shock. One of my students read about Dr. Campbell's death in the New York Times and just told me. I have been using Campbell Biology as my main teaching resource for nearly 10 years. Dr. Campbell will be greatly missed and I will always be thankful for his wonderful textbook and teaching ability. Thank you Dr. Campbell from my students as well as from myself.

To the Family of Neil Campbell,
I had the pleasure of meeting Neil several times as the New York City sales rep for Prentice Hall. Two years ago, Neil agreed to be my guest speaker at my city-wide Science Assistant Principal meeting. I host this meeting annually, and when Neil's name appeared on the invitation as the guest speaker, the meeting garnered the largest attendance ever. Neil was gracious to autograph copies of his AP Biology text for all the attendees. When he gave his...

I do not know what to say... in a nostalgic tone my professor just told us in class.I am a first year Biology student at Carleton University in Canada .So I just started my journey through Biology. I remember I once heard that one of the beauties of the mind is in the making of conections.It makes pretty much sense for me. That is what I have found in Campbell's book.As he said, "our tendency to feel conected to" . Every single page I have read has showed me the beautiful conection of all...

We have all lost a great friend and colleague with Neil's death. It is hard to express how much he brought to biology education,and more importantly, how we valued his kindness and friendship. His passing leaves a hole in our hearts and lives.

In the evaluation of texts for our non-science majors course, our publishing rep gave me the opportunity to meet and have lunch with Neil. We spent a good part of the afternoon at that lunch. Of course, we discussed textbooks, but the conversation went far beyond. It was as though we'd known each other for ever. His energy for science, students, education, his family, and life itself were vividly revealed. Time passed too quickly. We adopted the Concepts and Connections text and have been...

We are truly saddened by the loss of this caring and gentle man. What a shock to realize how fragile our lives really are. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rochelle and Ali in this difficult time.
