I have very fond memories of Mr. Campbell and the whole Campbell family. I was actually at the Campbell household to watch IU win their last National Championship in 1987 as a surly 15 year old boy. I was lucky I was able to speak to Mr. Campbell a couple months ago as we shared the same affliction, bladder cancer. He was very positive when I spoke with him as he always has been. Mrs. Campbell, Brad, Michelle....my deepest condolences and may he RIP.

My condolences to Sue, Bradley, and Michelle. I met Bill in June of 1973. He took me under his wing when I was an apprentice electrician in the mill. He was the smartest and most conscientious electrician I ever knew. He worked hard and did his job the right way everytime, everyday. We worked so well together that we knew each others thoughts on the job! It was a pleasure working with and learning from him. He sure loved all of you! Rest in peace my friend!

Sue I was sorry to hear about Bill's passing. It is such a comfort knowing that he had his faith in God and he is at eternal rest. You both were so kind to me when I babysat your kids. I remember Bill always joking around and making me laugh. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

May God be with you and the family surrounding you with comfort and love . May he give you his peace . Bill has positively and spiritually touched so many lives, his influence for me in my walk of faith as a youth and young adult helped me overcome so much . His words and God inspired guidance has and will always echo in my memories. God present with him now Bill is in his loving arms. Praying for all in this time of grief.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
