To all the Campbells, your Dad was a truly great neighbor. When I moved back to the neighborhood I always enjoyed our chats while on my dog walks. He was such a kind and gentle man. He will be missed.

My Uncle Bob was a kind and gentle soul. Every memory I have of him is one with a smile on his face. Please don't focus on the date of his birth or the date of his passing. Focus on the dates in between where he touched so many lives. You will be missed Bob.

To the Campbell Family,

Your father and mother were always such a familiar and welcome sight on Sundays at the 9:00 mass. They always sat in the same place on the same side as my mom and sister. Always so sweet, friendly and kind. Truly a great neighbor. Wishing you all peace and comfort in the memories you all have. God bless.

Fondly,
Kathleen Botelho Kawa

I worked with Bobby for many years at Shawmut Boston. Bob was one of the most gentle, caring, and happy people that I have known in my life. Always smiling, never angry, never had a bad thing to say about anyone. In all respects Bobby lived the life of a committed Christian, and I have no doubt that he was received at the "pearly gates" with great joy. We are all better people for having had him in our lives.
