Michael J. Campanelli MD

Dear John and Valerie
We remember Michael playing viola at midnight mass on Christmas Eve a few years ago. He was such a gifted musician.
John would always share news of Michael´s progress at Medical school. We were all so proud of Michael´s accomplishments.
Dee and I share our deepest condolences to the Campanelli family.

John and Valerie -
I have so many fond memories of Michael sitting in my 5th Grade beginning strings class at Brown School. He quickly showed early signs of musical talent and an unwavering love for the viola. I remember at the end of every lesson he would complained that our class was just not long enough and wished he could skip his next class and make more music. Even after all these years that has remained such an endearing memory of your wonderful son. My deepest condolences.

Please accept my families deepest condolences to Michael's family and friends.
I was fortunate to have met Michael when he was in our towns Cub Scout Pack with my sons, he was quiet, kind and generous as he earned his arrow of light with his friends. I am so proud that he achieved so much more since. My heart goes out to all who loved him, keep his memories with you always.
Our heartfelt sympathies from Elisa Brako and Wayne, Jon and Evan Hubbs

John and Valerie...our son, Tommy Kay, worked in the library with Michael while he was at Furman University. I remember the day he called and said he had met a great new friend! As they sat in the library, late at night, they compared fun stories of boating, and growing up around the water. They talked about someday starting a boat business together... And had great plans to catch up again after graduation. Unfortunately, Life got in the way... And they didn´t keep in touch. It saddens my heart for you that he is gone and I know that your hearts are truly broken. Tommy called me this morning with the news of Michael´s passing. He is devastated with sadness. He told me all about Michael and what a bright light he was in the little bit of time that he knew him. Tommy thought of Michael as a great friend and will always cherish his friendship! Our prayers are with you. Jack and Christie Kay (Belleair, FL)

Michael was a shining star to all who knew him. May his light shine from the heavens forever.
