Our condolences to the Campbell family. I’m sure he has left many wonderful memories to keep Jimmy alive in your hearts. From: Gen Fogarty/Kevin Primmer
So sorry to hear of Jimmy’s passing. Although I have not seen Jimmy for a long time, when we did meet, we greeted each other like old friends. He was one of the good ones. Deepest condolences to the family. From: Joe Howell
Betty and I were saddened to read of Jimmy’s passing. What a great guy, always upbeat and friendly. We’ve been away 46 years, however, whenever we ran into Jimmy back home, it was as if we never left, he would talk to us like he saw us just yesterday. Always genuinely interested in how we were doing and where we were living.
Our sincerest condolences to Sandra and the entire Campbell family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
