Are you guys referring to Bruce Campbell? My family is still good friends with Janice Lacount one of the great vocalist in their choir. I remember as a small child riding on buses as the choir would sing at different places. Sis Dawson was a great thinker and Bro, Dawson was a man of great patience, they both were simply Christians. My father speaks very high of them even though both of them are gone.

He was almost always smiling - just like Sis. Rita Dawson. I remember him having gout in his feet and having to be in a wheelchair for a while. I hope I am not confusing him with someone else. It's been a while ago.

We have that album with the Weedpatch choir members on the front - with the song "When Time and Eternity Meet" ...I think Sis. Dawson wrote that, but that might not be correct either. Time kind of blurs the memory.

That's Bro.Campbell! He loved to smile and he loved to preach.....!!!! Sad he is gone... I know for sure is missed! He did suffer alot with his health and I was sad to see him go.....

Bruce Campbell died??? I thought he was still alive and kickin. I know last time I saw him he was pushing 400lbs, but I thought he was still alive.

My dad said that Maxine davis left weedpatch in the early to mid 70's. He last spoke to her at Bro. Dawson funeral 2 years ago

He passed away last May, I think it was....... I can't believe it's been almost a year.

Yes, he died. He got a boil on his neck, pierced it, it got infected and killed him.

Scooter...... I am surprised you are just now finding this out....I thought anyone who knew him or his family knew that he had passed. He was sick for a few weeks before he passed on. He had hundreds of people at his funeral........

Some called us the day he passed...of course we were close friends...I saw Sister Campbell at Brother Holmes meeting in August. She seemed to being doing good...However I know she hurts inside. I pray for her and the children.
