So sorry for your loss, Campbell Family,
Mr Campbell was such a cool man. His family and mine were compliments. I remember fun times with the Campbells. We cut down Christmas trees together, while passing around the football, and watched the superbowl in their basement. Mr. Campbell always had a smiling face and made us feel welcomed. He was a man I would have liked to visit when I came back to Scranton.

Marlene, Scott, Todd, Andy, Brad and families,
We are absolutely heartbroken over Fred's passing! Not only was he the best, best-friend of my parents since their high school days, he was family to all of us! He was a great man; adventurous, kind, funny and a true gentlemen. We have endless great memories with him; from multiple Army football games, a Holiday bus trip to NYC, to all the simple family visits. I'm sure he and Dad are having a martinee and a cigar while watching over us from Heaven. Much Love to all our Campbell family! Love Susan & Joe.

Fred was one of the finest men I've known. His legacy is amazing. Fred was my best friend Andy's dad first. Next, he was a swimming official for my Abington heights swim team. My favorite memory was the three years Fred cut my hair for states swimming championship. He was also a member of my church and interacted with him on a weekly basis growing up in the Clarks Summit area. Fred was like a father to me and was totally approachable, kind, honest and genuine. I am sad to hear of his passing and pray for his family and friends. Fred you are missed and thanks for teaching and showing me how to be a caring person and maintaining my sense of humor during the most challenging times. I am grateful to you sir! God bless you in heaven
