Carl M. Campbell, Jr., 79, of Newtown Square, a financial security consultant, died Sunday, June 26 at Bryn Mawr Hospital, surrounded by his family. He was born in Hagerstown, MD on April 30, 1932 to C. Merritt Campbell and Lavinia W. Campbell. His mother came from a long line of Philadelphia Quakers, dating back to John Worrell, who moved to Frankford in 1688. Carl graduated from the George School, and then earned a bachelor’s degree in 1954 and a master’s degree in 1957 from Princeton University. As an undergraduate, he graduated summa cum laude and was selected for the Phi Beta Kappa society. For his graduate thesis, he was awarded the Charles Ira Young medal. After receiving his master’s in engineering, he accepted a job at the Burroughs Corporation and moved to the Philadelphia area. In 1976 he became a consultant in the field of electronic security for financial systems, working primarily with MasterCard and Visa for the remainder of his career. He was chiefly involved with the application of cryptography for the protection of electronic financial messaging systems. He was also integral in the development of national and international standards currently in use for protection of electronic financial data throughout the world. Through his own company, Transaction Security Products, he designed and produced Security Modules to protect electronic data transfer for banking systems. As a result of his various projects, he received numerous patents for his inventions. Carl was a member of Proclamation Presbyterian Church in Bryn Mawr and the Merion Cricket Club. His activities included playing tennis and spending time at the family’s vacation home on Lake Fairlee, Vermont. He was loved everywhere he went and was known for his humility, his wry sense of humor, and for always having a winsome smile. Most precious to him were his faith and his family, whom he deeply loved. He is survived by Janet, his wife of 52 years; his three sons, Carl, Scott, and Jeff; and eight grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at Proclamation Presbyterian Church at 11:00 AM on Friday, July 1. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, P.O. Box 26, Wayne, PA, 19087; FOCUS, PO Box 1027, New Canaan, CT, 06840; or the First Congregation Church of Woodstock, 36 Elm Street, Woodstock, VT, 05091.
