August 7, 2020 at 1:20 amThe last time I saw Jimmy was at our family reunion about a decade ago. He had a broad smile and a Red Sox cap on that day as well.
My condolences to the entire family. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Love,
Cousin Nancy Fila

August 7, 2020 at 10:39 amBill and I send our deepest sympathies to the Campbell family. We worked with Jim for many years at Cobham and always enjoyed talking about our grandchildren. Jim always had the biggest smile when he talked about his granddaughter and couldn’t wait to share her pictures! We will miss him dearly! Kathy and Billy Mayo

August 7, 2020 at 5:51 pmThe Cartier / Nobumoto family sends our deepest condolences. I remember Jim from the old neighborhood days. Always smiling and happy to join in whatever game we were playing – tag, hide-n-go-seek, relievo, building bike jumps, running hurdles, building go carts, etc. Those are fond memories of the days we all played outside until the street lights came on. I know he will be dearly missed here and welcomed with open arms by your loving family already in heaven. My heart is with you all.
