| John will always be as close to a father for me. Joy, intelligence and deep reverence for nature are but a few hallmarks of this man. Were it not for the care and compassion of the Campbell family and the guidance of John Campbell I would not be the man I am today. Gentle challenge, ever seeing eyes, and a hickory sense of humor, he shared with me much more than I can say only in words. I am sad for your loss, all you Campbells and Ruthvens and, indeed, for all those John touched. Much love, Graham | | from: Graham Walsh | on: 07-22-2009 |
