I'll never forget all the wonderful memories we have shared. God gave us a four year miracle to spend more time with our brother. I'm forever grateful for Larry's love and friendship. xo

With sympathy for all the family of Larry J. Campbell, Jr. (known to me as JR)at his passing; he fought a good fight but eventually lost the battle; JR will be remembered by many as a very kind and comfortable person to be around; I worked with him for years and found his work ethics outstanding. JR will be "missed"....

JR had a very long and difficult journey but with the help of his family he braved through it for 4 long years. He will be sorely missed and was greatly loved.

To the family of Larry J. (known to most of us as JR) heartfelt sympathy for this loss of a wonderful family member and a man I've known for many years. Have always had the highest regard for JR in all the times our paths crossed some years ago when involved in the construction industry. JR along with family members fought a good fight against the disease cancer and in the end cancer took his life. Love and caring thoughts go to his family (wife children parents) and to all his friends who will miss him in their lives. May God hold him in His Hands and watch over him from now on...
Prayers to everyone, love, Barbara Ingle
