It’s been a year since you died Bob.  I pray for your soul every day as I do for my Fred.  Rest in peace.  You are much missed.

I worked with bob for 4 years in Army LMI. We always spent a ton of time on the phone and he would keep track of my racing on social media even after I left the LMI Team.  He called me not long before he passed asking me to take his job and reluctantly I declined his offer. I am torn that he passed soo soon and wish peace to his family.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I worked with Bob and his knowledge and experience are irreplaceable at TACOM.  Bob always went out of his way to help others either with amazing documentation he pulled together over the years or just helping us understand the craziness and not get to stressed out over decisions made years ago.  I also enjoyed our conversations about the Marine Corp.  There are not as many Marine Corp families working for the Army, so it was always nice to send him a Happy Birthday on November 10th.

To the Family of Robert Francis Campenhout:
I did not know your loved one, but I pray for your peace and comfort. I pray that the Lord will wipe away every tear from your eyes and that you will have only the happiest memories remaining in your hearts throughout the rest of your lives. Amen.

Worked along side Bob in a few positions throughout the years at TACOM.  We should all strive to have the same dedication to our mission and the soldier as Bob.  His knowledge and experience was always leaned on and greatly appreciated.  Thank you for being a great example to younger employees; rest easy, we'll carry the torch.

I used to work with Bob at TACOM and he was such a nice guy. I am so sorry for your loss.

I work at Red River Army Depot. I met Bob about 13 years ago. I was his local program manager for years. I spoke to Bob daily and we became good friends. He was great to work with. Always listened to my ideas and was very knowledgeable about his vehicles. He always had the soldier first in his thoughts. I will miss his commitment and his great stories. Everyone at RRAD is devastated by his loss and wish his family all the best. I hope you are sitting by a lake with a pole in your hands, Bob! Rest in peace brother.

I first met Bob when he was a lifeguard at the SCS pool and I hung out at the pool because what else did a teenager not old enough to drive do in SCS? Little did I know we would become life-long friends.  I have so many happy memories with you and April.  Bob, you were a great friend, a great family man, and a top-notch citizen.  May you rest in peace.

April, Robert and Karl

 Bless you in your time of grief.  I’m sure god needed a splendid soul, and marine in heaven!! 
Respectfully, Carl and Janine

So sorry to hear of Bobby's passing! I have many memories of holidays and summers he,  Freddy and his family would come to our grandparent"s farm in Blissfield for family gatherings.  I'm so glad we were able to reconnect again at Freddy's  memorial service.   My heart breaks for this loss and am sending big hugs and much love to April and his sons during this difficult time!!

Prayers for Bob’s family. I enjoyed the conversations I had with Bob over the years at TACOM. He was a great person and will be missed.

It was an honor and a privilege to call you my friend, You definitely changed the world with your presence, dedication and kindness throughout your life. Rest in Peace Bob, you will be missed.

Semper Fi Marine until we see each other again.  I look forward to talking to you once again.

April and family,
My sincerest condolences  to you all.
It is so hard to lose someone you love so much.
Hugs to you all,
Barb Mathews
