PITTSBURGH (AP) - Byron Campbell, the city editor of the former Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, will be buried Friday in suburban Pittsburgh. With the stroke of a pencil, Campbell could condense a wordy article to a concise story. He was the antithesis of the stereotype of hard-bitten editors. When the Sun-Telegraph folded in 1960, Campbell spent weeks finding jobs for his reporters before finding one for himself. He became the public relations director of Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, now UPMC-Presbyterian, then moved to the public relations department of the Aluminum Company of America, from which he retired in 1976. He is survived by his daughter, Nancy Martin; three sons, Malcolm, Wayne and David; 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
