To my wonderful father, you are the best in every way. My confidant, my friend, my dad, so humble so kind so giving. Always willing to listen when I needed you too. I am going to miss you so much. I have no words to describe how I feel that you’re now gone. It will be very difficult without you around to lend us your unending support. All the time that you and I have spent together these last few years especially, I will never ever ever forget. We had some great times together. Christie is so heartbroken. We love you so much dad, grandpa. You will be forever in our hearts and the memories will be everlasting. Love you and sleep with the angels OK? And say hi to mom and Jessy for me.

Your son

I first met Egon Kampczyk, my best friend Robert’s father in 1978, and from that moment on, I realized how special an individual he was: kind, diligent, funny, tough when he needed to be, and full of spirit and character. He embodied the Greatest Generation, people who fought through life’s challenges, didn’t complain, and persevered. The three of us spent countless hours watching sports together, laughing, talking politics (and mostly agreeing!), and I consider every encounter to have been a positive and rewarding one. From his devotion to his beautiful and wonderful wife Daniela to his joie de vivre and wonderful relationship with Robert, who was such a great son to him, he in many ways set a very high standard that too few of us can really live up to. I have lost not only a great friend, but a true role model. Rest in peace, Egon. You made my life better by virtue of my having known you. See you in the next world.
