Jim worked for many years at Campbell’s Plastering and then as a self-employed contractor. He enjoyed being in his garden, Nascar races, spending time with his grandkids, nieces, and nephews. He was an avid fisherman, and his favorite past-time was to watch the Cubs games with his mom.

He was preceded in death by his father, Richard Campbell, his brother, Jerry Campbell, and his sister, Janet Jones.

The family would like to thank the Colona emergency team, Genesis Hospital Silvis, Illinois, OSF in Peoria, and Heartland Hospice in Davenport, Iowa, for taking care of him. We appreciate all of you.
