I would like to express my deepest sympathies to George's family. I enjoyed his company at lunch a few times. Mary McClure Delorme

Mark, Eleanor and Lori Goodhand send our condolences to the George's family. George was the priest of our church when we attended St. Luke's. He was a caring spiritual leader who was particularly engaged with the the youth of our church. Father Campbell and his wife Jean were generous with the people of the parish. He was a 'friend' to us. He cared and he went to bat for us. He is a great example of the true parish priest who was not afraid to support you in trying to understand how faith in God works when life delivers challenges. We will miss him and our grateful that he was a part of our lives.
