Just learned of Hugh's passing a few minutes ago when I received a phone call at work and we want to express our condolences to Nelda and the rest of the family. Hugh and Nelda were downstairs neighbors for several years and we have missed them ever since they moved out. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nelda and the rest of the family. Hugh was a wonderful man who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. We were blessed when Hugh and Nelda came into our lives.

To the Campbell Family,

Nelda and I offer our condolences on the death of Hugh. The world is a lesser place without Hugh's presence.

We wish we had words that could make your pain less. But at least you know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you grieve.

In sympathy,

Nelda and Dan Taylor

Although it has been years since I have visited with you all. I still feel connected to all of you--Ron married Charlie and I back in 1982 and did a good job. I recall the wonderful times that all of us shared and I know how dear your family was to each of you. I recall how proud Mr. Campbell was of his family and what a wonderful person he was. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.
