I Remember Dr Campbell from Bentwaters and Woodbridge AFB in the UK, both his older children were good friends of my daughter in HS. So sorry to hear of his passing.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My condolences to the Campbell family. I met him at the dojo and I will always remember him and his son Jeff in the dojo and then having ice cream after. It was very unique having a father and a son working out together. I also remember him telling us some of his stories from when he was in the US Air Force. I will be praying for him!!!!
