Not sure what to say?

Father Campbell was always a very happy, friendly, down to earth human. I enjoyed his classes at Marywood and he taught about real life events. He appeared to really enjoy what he was doing. His smile was a gift and contagious. He was a positive influence. Sad for his family and humanity about his passing.

Father Campbell taught a religious course at Marywood, that fulfilled requirements for my Bachelor's Degree in Education. He also was Pastor @ ICC for 13 years, which my husband & I listened to his many insightful sermons. My husband, Jim, served as a n Altar Boy w/ his brother Bill when Father Campbell was the Parish Priest @ St. Patrick's Church in Olyphant. Many memorable days. Father Campbell saw me walking in Dunmore during my lunch hour @ the Jefferson Center in Dunmore, PA. & gave...

My memories of Father Campbell are vast and cherished. He taught me religious studies at Marywood and was Chaplain during my student years. He then became pastor at ICC, which was my home parish at the time. He did my pre-marriage counseling and served as celebrant when my husband and I got married at ICC in 1996--the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony we could have hoped to have!

Father Campbell was a priest at St. James Church in Jessup from 1958 to 1960. In the time he was there his positive impact on the youth of the parish and the entire community was incalculable. May perpetual Light shine upon him. Tom Brown Scott Township

Father Campbell was a light for many. His insightful and easy ways led him to be a great teacher and mentor, in and out of the classroom. In a brief time, I learned many life lessons as a young soul from him. RIP Padre. Condolences to the family, his presence in our universe will be missed.

A very good man.

Father Campbell was a priest for all people. His intelligent, straight forward instructions on the Catholic faith, helped all who were lucky enough to attend his classes or listen to his sermons. Our parish was a better place while Father Campbell was guiding the people. May God bless you with eternal life. We thank you for your gifts and service to us all. We are better for having you as our priest and shepherd. We shall long remember your lessons.
