There's a way that says " time heals all wounds " . Regretfully I find that to be false . Still miss you every day , talk to you a lot but you know that . There we be a time when I can thank you for looking out for me an what's left of the family . Love you bro ....
I can't believe that it's been 7 years that I lost my Best Friend. Your farewell gift to me was our few hour conversation, reminiscing about the good ol' days and looking forward to future adventures in our retirement years, the day before you died. I still talk with you a lot and appreciate your sage advice. Miss you more than you know (or maybe not - :)). Very much look forward to seeing you again Buddy...Al
A year ago,today, seems like it was yesterday,who ever said time heals all wounds must not have had someone like you. ?I miss you and look forward to meeting you again and then things will be normal.this will come down in a few days and i wanted to say i love you and miss you.....till our family is reunited save me a place at the table!
Well brother its almost a year and I am still missing you wit and wisdom as you well know. I am curious if and how you feel about how I have handled the last year. I have tried to do it like you would have and it seems the more i am concerned with others feelings the more I get trampled on. I know what you put down in black and white and it seems now that I will have to fight to make that come to pass. I am not sure that is what you wanted put the person in charge feels that you last will is up to interpritation. I guess its my fault for not standing up right at the get go. I love you and miss you and could sure use your guidance right now for im sure the way im going to do it is going to seperate any chance of being a family

on behalf of myself and the monmouth county court, we are so sorry for you loss. mike was involved in our juvenile conference committe, he was passionate about the work and believed he could and did make a difference in trouble youths lives. he volunteered his time and anytime we had a crisis mike was the first to step up without even being asked. he will be very missed and i cannot say enough how grateful i was to work with him-- victoria ryan juvenile conference committee cordinater.
I have known Mike because he has been very involved with a child in our residential program (CB) . She was greatly saddened by the news of his passing. We had just confirmed that he was coming here on Friday to celebrate her birthday. Mike was a special guy who remembered her on Christmas,came and cheered for her at the school graduation and other times too, knowing the many losses she had and wanting her to feel special, always bringing her her favorite chocolate bar. H was a special guy. "CB" wants to say "Thanks for being a great CASA worker, Mike. We love you.
Myrna, My heart goes out to you and your family on your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sue Szeker
Dear Myrna and Family, We can't imagine what you are going through but know that if you need anything give us a call. Mike had a way of making everyone he touched feel like a friend and he will be sorely missed. Things always happen for a reason, but only God knows what it is. He is a great man and role model to all.
Myrna, I spoke to Mike numerous times regarding remediation projects. I was shocked and saddened when I heard of his passing. What I will always remember fondly was that he came on strong and had a real tough guy exterior. But once you got past that, he was a real soft touch underneath! We spent lots of time talking about your pets. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Jerri
Just a note to say one of the stories that shows how lucky I was to have Mike in my life goes back to a Christmas in the house in spring lake. time line was late 60s .Mom and dad had bought a plastic cannon ,for me.Kind of like a civil war type...maybe this is where Mike started his love of that era, anyway it was capable of shooting plastic cannon balls about the size of a closed fist.So before dinner Mike and I where in the den shooting back and forth , this would be the same place where the Christmas tree was set up. In those days there wasn't any plastic decorations! On the tree there where these big ,red , glass balls . Please,take note to "where" . after 15 min or so we had pretty much defended that tree and had annihilated the invading decorations. Seemed really fun for us both till mom came in and well I did so like being the youngest for I was just as guilty and Mike and he took most if not all of the fall out. Only made one of fond memories he and i shared.
I am saddened at the news of Mike's passing. His competitive spirit, good humor and sincere warmth touched all of us who played softball with him. He was truly a team guy and lifted us all during games as well as apres' game. Knowing little of Mike, pre-softball, I am no less surprised by his many interests and accomplishments. Mike is my new hero. It has been my honor to have known him these past three years.
Myrna, I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I didn't know Michael that well it was clear that he was a very positive and happy person and he was a joy to be around. All your happy memories will sustain you through this difficult time. Please know that as your friend I'll always be around for you.
I only knew Mike a short time.....he and i played for new softball team in '07...more than 1 "mike" on the team....he was the oldest so, obviously, he was "old mike"....every game i showed up i called out to "old mike"....he laughed....i always remember him laughing....he could play, too....he played catcher and we all knew that if you threw home to old mike, then he was going to catch it no matter how poorly the ball was thrown or how hard....i played for a different team last year but looked forward to the 2 games i played against "old mike"....he jabbed at me....i jabbed at him....all in good fun....when he got up at bat i yelled out from my 3rd base position, "c'mon old mike, let's see what you've got"....i think he burned us more often than not....i'll miss "old mike"....i'll always remember him! dg
Dear Chris and family of Michael Campion, We are deeply saddened to hear about your loss. We know how difficult this must be for you and your family. You are in our thoughts. Sincerely, Ellis, Ranu & Ellissa
Myrna - what sad news I was greeted with this morning. My heart goes out to you. I will keep you in my prayers. Deepest sympathy. Kris
You were such a fine friend. Always had a smile and quick wit! I am glad that I had the opportunity to have met you.
Myrna, Remember the night you, Mike, Zuzi and I planned to go out to dinner and we had one of the worst Blizzards in years. I just bought a brand new Cherokee Laredo 4x4 and was excited about trying it out. So we did not let the weather stop us. We went to the first place it was closed. We went to several others they were closed. Then finally we found a place open and had the time of our lives. What a memorable night out. Love Ya Mike & Myrna (M & M)
Myrna, Myrna, Myrna, I know "we" have a special bond together and I wish you calm, and a warm smile as you remember ALL the wonderful times you and Mike shared together. I remember the day you got married in the back yard on a summer day that was 190 degrees. The pool, the pool. We had many fun times in the pool. I just sent Mike an email several days ago and was going to call because we had not spoken live for awhile and the Yankees and Red Sox were going into a three game series. My regret is I never got to speak with him. He always told me when it was just the two of us that he was the luckiest guy in the world because he had finally met his true love and soul mate. I hope to make it to the services but it may not happen. i hope to speak to you soon. Love Always, Rick Livingstone
Bill and I are so very honored to have known Mike! Only 2 weekends ago we were laughing, enjoying a meal together and a nightcap....we talked of how similar we all are - Mike, Myrna, me and Bill - we laughed so much that night.... Although we didn't know each other for long - we knew we liked each other - all of us - very much ...we all felt so comfortable with each other. I wish we could have had a chance to spend more time all together...Bill and I will miss Mike immensely. Myrna, Bill and I feel deeply for you, please know that we are here for you. Michele & Bill
To Mike, my brother from another mother. Thank you for 41 years of friendship, laughter, counsel, companionship, unforgettable memories, excitement, love & brotherhood. You were a gift from God to hundreds, if not thousands, of people. In the Hall of Fame of Friends, you are a charter inductee. I will (already do) miss you more than words can say and know that the Big Guy in the sky welcomed you home with open arms. I love you Mike!!!...als ps - keep 2nd base open for me.
I just read the news and I am reeling. Michael has been a friend for 21 years. He was brilliant, loyal, professional, and a beautiful friend in every way. Even though he and I have always been professional competitors, that never was an issue for either of us. In fact we sought one another's counsel on several occasions, and when we found ourselves in a conflict of interest we would recommend one another's companies. I will miss Mike forever.
Michael was like a younger brother to us. We met Michael & Myrna on a cruise in 2008 and we immediately felt that we had known them all of our lives. Michael had a unique personality and his sense of humor reflected his true outlook on life. He had the ability to tease us and make us laugh at our own shortcomings. There was nothing that Michael would not do for us. His acts of kindness and love were non-ending. We will truly miss him, his humorous phone calls, his never-ending smile and his ability to make us love him. Rest in peace, Michael, you're in God's hands now. Lea & Jerry
Dear Dad-in-law, Sorry we only had a short time to know each other - but I'm glad you were able to give me the best gift I could ever hope for - your wonderful daughter. I will always love and honor Myrrh as you, her father, would want. I miss you. Love Gerry
It is a wonderful life because of you. You were always there to make us laugh and smile. Your kind heart and beautiful smile lite up this world for those you walked beside. We are all better for sharing this world with you - Thanks for Being You! Love always and forever in my heart. Lori
