Robert Campbell

Better late then ever.. Its been seven years that Bob Cambell our next door neighbor on Camino Ricardo is gone. My belated condolences to his family Tom Leskovar

It was with great sadness that I learned today that Bob Campbell had passed away. Mr. Campbell was my high school chemistry and leadership teacher. He was also leader on several outdoor adventures including my 3 week hike along the John Muir Trail. I can say without a doubt that Mr. Campbell was the single greatest influence of any of my teachers on my becoming a chemist and a teacher. I have tried to model his love of chemistry and respect for students throughout my teaching career.

I remember that Mr. Cambell (Bob) was a great chemistry teacher at Miramonte H.S. He lit an academic fire for me and encouraged a curiosity of how things were made up and how they worked. Years later, my wife and I were attending St. Monica's church and saw Bob; I recognized him immediately as he had generated a special place in my life.

He was an inspiration and a leader in his field. I am sorry for your loss, but please know that Bob inspired so many "scientists" among his students and colleagues.

Mr Campbell was reluctant to have me do the Grand Canyon trip as he didn't think I would be tough enough - the skinny kid with no real outdoor experience. But I convinced him I was up for the adventure and it was a once in a lifetime experience! He was an amazing teacher and...

Mr Campbell was a great teacher who inspired so many... he was one of my favorites at Las Lomas and I would not be where I am today without him. My peace to all.
