As a close friend of Nate's while growing up, I spent many days at the Campbell household during my childhood. Dennis, "Nate's Dad", was always friendly and full of quirky stories. My thoughts are with your family during this difficult time.

Dennis became my best friend during our Air Force days at Ellsworth AFB, Rapid City, SD. That friendship carried on for 46 years. He was a good man and I will certainly miss him. My sympathy to his family for their great loss. May Dennis rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Campbell family in this time of loss. We knew Dennis through church and after losing touch over the past few years, had hoped to reconnect someday. We'll always remember the ready laugh and funny stories.
