Roger Campbell as remembered by his grandson Sam Campbell
Grandpa

“What will they think of next?” Satisfied with simple pleasures, simplifier of the big ideas. 

Grandpa made complicated things simple. 
The man with the depth to build engines, could make anyone laugh about the most mundane. 

A rare character of both intellect and humility. 
Someone who could make you think deeply about his insights and laugh twice as hard at his jokes. 
Simple. Humble. Brilliant. Kind, Gentle. Tireless. Passionate. 

Observed irony and distilled it into quips. Unabashedly himself, from the first day I met him. 
Presented with a silver spoon, only to recognize it as a tool to eat his cherry pie. 

He was always thinking of what’s next.
And he was always open and grateful for what was next.
