We didn't know Daryl Campbell, but his wonderful son is now our son-in-law. We wish we could have met him. He will be missed not only by those who knew him, but by all that have heard him play. Another great talent silenced and we're truly sorry for the loss.

Oh! my! Like most people touched by the loss of a loved one first there is disbelief, it's not true and then the reality of it sets in, there's an empty feeling inside and one sees the shadows of memories. Those shadows I have of "Flea" will be my constant reminder of his genius and his gentleness toward others. He touched my life in a way most would not understand. I am going to miss you Flea, and now it truly is
"Robie Time" Rest well! Lewis Hankins
