Thomas J. Campbell

Thomas J. Campbell, 84, of Spring Township, passed away the morning of June 10, 2012, in St. Joseph Hospital.

He was a U.S. Marines Corps veteran.

Tom was one of the three original founders of Associated Steam Specialty Company, where he also served as a sales engineer, retiring in 2005.

He was a lifelong Catholic. It was one of the driving forces in his life. He renewed his beliefs everyday and annually would attend a weekend at the Malvern Retreat House, which he attended for over 50 years.
