I went to high school with Cal. Back then, Cal was one of the kindest, most humble, handsome, lighthearted students in the graduating class of 1967. I will always remember him as we were that year. My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones.

He was my coach at Springville. I only played varsity basketball my senior year. Being new to the sport I thought Coach Cal knew everything about basketball.... 50 years later I still do. I would have run thru a wall for him. The biggest lesson he taught me was "Don't be satisfied with 2nd place". When we played Holy Family one night someone said God was on their side. I wanted to know what # he was so I could guard Him! That's the sort of confidence I learned from him. Thank you Coach and may Gods peace dwell among you all.

Wowww. I talked with Coach by Facebook from time to time and All He ever talked about was- as he called out-, 'The Shot Heard Round'. It was 1987, our Senior year. We were playing our opener at Pell City and its a very memorable game. Firstly, Our Uniforms had not arrived yet, so we were in whatever we had. Sweat pants, baseball pants, tshirts-again what we had. Our Senior group was a Star Studded group and Coach had been looking forward to Us since he first arrived , So there was this mutual excitement. So its the 7th inning and I had been hurt in our previous outing- the Dreaded 100 Inning Game! I had fallen and hurt my wrist pretty badly. Its 2 outs and the bases are loaded after a walk. Coach was our 3rd base Coach and from there He Yells. "Hey Rhodes- Get a Bat! Me, astonished I could only reply- A Bat??? He says yeah. So i grab a bat and I go the plate to face David Gulledge(stud QB and Pitcher for the Pell City team in 1987). Long story short- I banged a Home Run so hard and so far- we couldn't even see where it was even close to landing. He Never Forgot that Moment and obviously- neither did I. It was moments like this that made me Love and Respect him because he was the very first to Truly Believe that We Could Be Great. He drove us physically but his mental approach made us just as mentally tough as we were physically. I'll Never Forget Your Faith in Myself and our Team. Coach Cal Campbell I still see the ol Red Chevette dragging the infield dirt before we played because you cared so much! Love You and Thanks!!! Ms Trudy and the Rest of the Campbell Family I Pray God's Healing and Comfort for You Alll!

I knew Cal from my days at Hialeah First Baptist Church where his Dad was pastor. I had spoken to him off and on for a few years. I was very pleased to find out he was on the "directory" of a lot of ex-members of FBCH, and located him on Facebook. I had heard that he had had some medical issues, but didn't know the extent of them.
I am so sorry for your loss, knowing fully what you are going through. I lost my husband of 47 years in July 2018. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as go through this time of grieving your loss. It's wonderful to know that you will see him again, in heaven. Blessings to you!

Trudi and family, I want to send my condolences and prayers. I was a teenager with Calvin in the Proclaimers at First Baptist Church of Hialeah. What a wonderful time we all had as youth . I lost touch until recently with my old friends. What a blessing they all were. I wish I coukd have seen Calvin again and met his family. I understand he fought cancer for many years and that he was an amazing dad and coach. We have assurance in our Lord that he is well and health rejoicing with those that have gone before. Praying for you all.

Kristen I can't imagine what you're going through or feeling right now, however I can tell you that he's gone to a place where he want be in anymore pain Listening to you talk about him at work I know you were a daddy's girl and it's going to be hard. Just remember just because he's not here with you physically doesn't mean he's left you. Your dad was fighter and has received the most ultimate prize. A job well done:)

Part of my heart died with Calvin's passing.
He courageously fought cancer as few of us could or would. Calvin and I were church kids together in Joplin, Missouri in the late 1950s. We were both only children and became brothers as a result. When Calvin moved to St. Louis in the early 1960s, we remained close through our love of God and of sports. When his family moved to Hialeah, Florida in the late 1960s, his family took me in for two summers when we were both in college. Calvin gave me his room during those summers and he slept on a pull out sofa so I could have a bed. That pretty much sums up Calvin's kindness and generosity. He always gave to others with little regard for his own comfort. He was great in so many ways - a great friend, a great husband, a great father, a great grandfather, a great coach and, most importantly a great Christian.
Brother, you blessed us in so many ways and will be missed more than you can imagine.
