Glen Paul Campagna ’74 Oct. 4, 1952 – July 30, 2010. A resident of San Jose, Glen Paul Campagna passed away after a hard fought battle with ALS. He is survived by his loving wife Katie McLaughlin-ampagna and son Kevin Campagna. Born the son of Robert and Antoinette Campagna, and raised in Mill Valley, Calif.,, Glen attended Our Lady of Mt. Carmel elementary school, Marin Catholic High School, and graduated from Santa Clara University in 1974. An accomplished athlete, Glen took pride in having completed 18 marathons, including running the Boston Marathon twice, and three triathlons. He enjoyed playing on the CSD softball team, ""leading"" hikes through the redwoods (WHO let GLEN hold the map!?) and bike rides. Despite the physical damage caused by the rapid progression of his illness, Glen, accompanied by his son Kevin and godson Brian Campagna completed a ten mile bike ride to help raise funds for the fight against ALS. Glen’s intelligence and creativity served him well in his career as an engineer. After college, Glen was hired by Westinghouse to work on a project he frequently claimed was "so top secret" even he didn’t know what it was. He was next recruited by United Technologies Chemical Systems Division, and later Lockheed Martin. Those same talents were also known to inspire the writing of a song or comic book sketch, and a role in a still controversial independent action film famous to a small but devoted fan base. Glen’s dedication to his close family and friends extended to his local community. He served as a board president at Most Holy Trinity Church, sang in the choir for both MHT and St. Francis of Assisi parishes, and was a volunteer facilities manager for numerous Peninsula Skating Club events. In addition to his immediate family of Katie, Kevin and Rushi, Glen is survived by two brothers, Robert and Mark Campagna, his loving Aunt and Uncle Nancy and Nando Griffanti, a plethora of nieces, nephews, and cousins, sisters in law Kathy and Sharon McLaughlin and brother in law Don McLaughlin.
