In Memory of Thomas Campbell, 1927-2023 |
|
The Museum honors and remembers Museum Docent Tom Campbell, who was an exceptional champion for the Museum for more than 13 years. He educated and delighted visitors with his vast knowledge and enthusiasm.
Among his notable honors: Tom was the inspiration for a student artist in Long Island's Best. In 2015, Grant Fryc, then an 11th grader at Northport High School, used a photograph of Tom as the basis for a mixed-media portrait. This portrait would go on to win the U.S. Congressional Art Competition and hang in the U.S. Capital for a year.
True to his love and support of the Museum, Tom's family requested that memorial donations be made to The Heckscher Museum of Art. |
