This is the first Atlantic City vs. Holy Spirit Thanksgiving Day football game without Frank Campo in more than 50 years.

Frank Campo passed away during 2024, leaving behind his wife of 49 years, Karin Graham Campo and his family; Michael and Colleen, Matthew and Jenna; as well as his grandchildren, Dominic, Olivia, and Gracie … along with many friends.

Campo had such profound respect for the tradition and storied history of the 96-year Thanksgiving Day rivalry game.
