I worked for then Corporal Angelo Campbell when I was a rookie police officer for the Columbia Police Department almost 30 years ago. It didn't take me long to see he was a good christian family man. He alwayd wrote with a pencil and he gave me two new sharpened pencils when I reported for duty in District 1. He told me that I would need them. I never heard an unkind word come out of his mouth. He set a good example for me, and I am sure others as well. I remember his retirement party. I believe it was in about 1985. Chuck Harris gave him a ball cap with the CPD patch on it and 2 "General's Stars" on it. Cpl. Cambbell would later tell us that when he would go to Ft. Jackson the soldiers on the gate would "snap to attention" when he came through. He later realized the insignia on the hat was playing a small part in it. He earned the respect.
I will always remember and be grateful for having known Cpl. Campbell.
