I first met Sidney and Jeannie 36 years ago when I took a job at NBC In Jefferson where Sidney served as a Director. After meeting them only a couple of times, it was easy to see what warm, sincere people they were, and, soon I found myself looking forward to the next time I could enjoy their company. In the years that followed our first meeting, I was very fortunate to have many opportunities to spend time with the Campbells. From an occasional dinner and an overnight stay at their home on Tokalan, to many visits to their beautiful Lake Ramsey home, to numerous trips to visit them in their beloved San Juan, Sid and Jeannie extended their friendship to me with open arms. Over the years this friendship grew in to a special bond, that outside the relationship with my own parents and family, has probably been the next most important relationship in my adult life. I truly grateful for their friendship and the many happy times and wonderful memories the Campbell's shared with me. After Sid's passing I tried to visit Jeannie as often as possible and always looked forward to these visits. Without question, Jeannie was the sweetest, warmest most caring person I have met in this lifetime. Jeannie loved her flowers and I loved bringing them to her when I visited. Jeannie also loved her family deeply and most of our conversations were centered around her children, grand children and great-grandchildren. She loved talking about and sharing stories about them.
I extend my sincere sympathy to the entire Campbell family at this difficult time. Grant and Sydney Jean, I want you to know how very special your parents were to me. I am a better person for having known them. I will miss them both very much.
