Page28A DemocratandChronicle. com Campbell, William Vincent Jr. Palo Alto, CA: To sum up the life of Bill Campbell, who died peacefully in his sleep this week with his family by his side, is a daunting and fundamentally impossible life and accomplishments were so vast and varied that even those who knew him best were only lucky enough to have witnessed a portion of them. Tributes to his astonishing legacy in Silicon Valley have already been pouring in, and rightly so. It is a legacy that is to fathom.

He had a hand in almost every consequential technology company of the past 30 years, either through direct relationship or through his coaching and mentoring of the key players, (and, in the case of Intuit, Claris, and Go, through his own tenure as CEO). From Apple to Google to Amazon to Twitter, from his mentorship of the iconic venture capitalists who helped shape the Valley to his under-the-radar involvement with legions of nerdy and unsexy companies barely known outside the tech community, but whose presences and innovations changed the technology was always there, all smiles and hugs, his essence embedded in the DNA, pushing everyone involved to be better managers, more creative, and, most importantly, better people, to be the most authentic and truest versions of themselves. He is probably best known for being a mentor to legends; as the legends themselves would be the to tell you, he was so much more than the sum of those he advised. He was himself a legend. He was the legend.

Bill was a man of beautiful and almost impossible contrasts. He was profane in a way that was unacceptable in many barrooms, let alone in church, and a devout Catholic who rarely missed Sunday Mass. A workaholic who pushed himself and those around him beyond their natural and professional limits, and a devoted husband and quite possibly the best father in history, who never, no matter what momentous occasion was on his schedule, missed an important event in his lives. Famously honest and blunt (and sometimes even harsh), he would never hesitate to let you know when you were but when you were messing up, be the guy answer your call at all hours of the night and, with inspiring patience and empathy, talk you through whatever mistakes you had made and how you were supposed to rectify them. He preached teamwork and compassion and love.

In many ways he seemed a throwback to a different era, a manly man, a jock, gruff, aggressive, macho, old-fashioned, and yet he was comfortable and even thrived around dorks, dweebs, outcasts of all as one ournalist put it. His identity as was derived from both his general football-coaching demeanor and his time as an actual football coach, with all the good and bad that that particular stereotype entails; he was a passionate advocate for the advancement of women in Silicon Valley and for the LGBT community. He was never happier than at the annual 8th grade graduation at Sacred Heart Schools in Atherton, CA, when, year after year, a stream of students, boys and girls alike, would offer remembrances and speak movingly of by far their most meaningful experience at the school: getting the chance to play football for Coach Campbell, absorbing the lessons he taught them, lessons that were, perhaps not surprisingly, essentially identical to the lessons Coach had imparted to those coached in the adult world. Teamwork. Structure.

Integrity. Accountability. Passion. Hard work. Empathy.

Love. Traits learned growing up in Homestead, PA, where he would end up donating millions of dollars to education and youth projects. A refrain about Bill, one been constantly noted in the many moving tributes to his life, one that rings truer than any and is unbearably painful to think about now that gone: Everyone who knew Bill thought of him as their best friend. Bill was a people person. He oozed charisma.

He was quick with a witty comment and impossible not to like. When he talked to you he made you feel like you were the only person that mattered. It might be tempting for those who know Bill that well to conclude that all this was just some act, a skill been born with or acquired with hard work. After all, how could it not be? How could one person be so with joy, with the amount of joy and love requisite for connection with such a staggering number of people on such a profound level? Obviously it had to be an act. It He really did love people the way they loved him.

New friends were made wherever he went. Often they were baristas, waiters, and, face it, bartenders, people who know initially who he was and in some cases never would. He had friends in high and low places and everywhere in between. It was infectious. He was a uniter, he imparted his worldview onto his friends and mixed his groups of friends together, so that friends in California became close with friends from Homestead and New York and elsewhere; wealthy friends grew to love friends who were less well off and vice versa; tech friends, academic friends, and football friends were molded into one great big Bill Campbell group.

Bill Campbell was an amazing personal success story and he certainly believed in competition and advancement, but he never saw wealth or social status or anything when judging the merits of people. He sought in others the same qualities he himself so fully honesty, humor, selflessness, toughness and kindness in equal measure, and, above all, the ability to open yourself up and love. friends, and there were many, by embodied these values; he have been friends with them if they He have loved them with the that he did. Bill Campbell really did believe that everyone who lived by these values, friend or not, was fundamentally the same, of equal goodness, of equal worth. On this last point, sadly, he was somewhat mistaken.

Indeed when you get down to it most people are essentially the same, most of their differences are But Bill Campbell was better than everyone. And all of his friends are better off for having known him.
