Robert Lee Campbell, Jr., affectionally known as “Pop” to his family and friends, was born on February 2, 1951 to Robert Lee Campbell, Sr. and Imogene Campbell in Galveston, Texas. He was the eldest son of four siblings, Jeanne Elaine, Stephen Michael and Adrienne Elaine Campbell.  Pop grew up in Galveston and attended Ball High School, graduating in 1969.  While attending Ball High School, he played both basketball and baseball.

After graduating high school, Pop enrolled at Texas Tech where he received a BS in Finance in 1972, and he also obtained a second BS degree in Government from The University of Houston Clearlake in 1986.

Pop decided to enlist in the Army where he proudly served his country for two and a half years.  Completing his commitment to the armed forces, he returned home where his sights were set on getting to know the aunt of a few of his childhood friends, Eugene and Lawrence Thomas.  After some time, and after finally getting a first date, he began courting the love of his life, Linda Armstrong. He later proposed and she said yes! On February 21, 1976, Pop and his beloved bride Linda entered holy matrimony and they began a marriage filled with love that lasted over 45 years. The pride and joy of Pop’s life was seen in the lives of his children, Stephanie, Ormide, and Leia (also known as Chrissy). He continuously poured out his wisdom, words of advice, and love to each of them as their personalities warranted. As the children grew up, he took pride in attending all of their extracurricular activities being chauffer, chef, and personal coach.  He would later be blessed to continue building and leaving his rich legacy through his grandchildren Gabriella, Brandon and Jillian Jackson in unique ways that will shape the way they will lead with confidence, fairness and  influence.
