Our condolences to the van Campen family. Life is passing us by so quickly however we have so many great memories of "Ome" Arnold when he visited the Netherlands and London over the years.

Warmest of thoughts are with Jacquie and the family.

Kindest regards,

Jacob, Sam, Kathrin and Joost

Our condolences to the entire van Campen family - particularly to Grandmama Jacqui on the loss of her life companion, to the boys and their spouses on the loss of their witty and sharp Dad, and to the grand kids on the loss of their Opa. I will always remember a wonderful trip with Jacqui, Arnie and Michael to Italy when we were all a whole lot younger and when Michael and I were hired as "drivers"!

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Jacquie and her family. Arnie was an important part of our lives when first arriving in Canada in 1955. We are left with wonderful memories.
