Dear Campbell family. My deepest sympathy for the loss of Arnold. He was truly one of a kind who made every day count!! His love for his family was his greatest inspiration,and he was always bragging about his grandchildren when he was with us at the hospital. He was a kind and gentle man who is watching you from heaven.
