Beloved son of the late Robert and the late Mildred (nee Havel) Campbell; dear brother of the late Robert, the late Joseph (Barbara), and the late William; loving uncle of many nieces and nephews; cherished friend to many. James was an avid Chicago sports fan and especially loved the Chicago White Sox and Bears.

He played 12” softball for the Brew Crew, Wizards, and Jukes, and 16” with the Stooges, enjoying over 20 championships over the years. He was a power hitter and hit all the fields, was known to be the best hitter on all his teams, and was the epitome of a great first baseman - #6 forever.
