Mr. and Mrs. Campbell: Your son had a presence about him that I've rarely seen in men much older than himself. James was full of passion for others; he was a generous man that gave part of himself to those around him through his selfless acts and his zest for life. His positive attitude was infectious and made you feel at ease quickly. James was that kind of man that gave you the feeling you had known him for years, even when you had not. James also had a great work ethic, he gave himself completely to his work and excelled at customer service. He took pride in his work and those he worked with. James was an extraordinary man. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to have known him.

I can't imagine ANYONE having anything bad to say about Campbell. What an extraordinary airman. He always lit up the room with that smile of his. I can still hear his laughter. My heart goes out to his family. To his mom and dad, I would like to say that you both raised an honest, honorable, loving and just plain wonderful young man. He was loved by all. It was truly an honor to have served with him. He lives within our hearts...his name will forever be remembered.
