Obituary
Charles "Chuck" William Campbell
Nov 8, 1932 - Sept 14, 2025
Chuck W. Campbell, age 92, passed away on September 14. 2025 at his home in Jackson. He was born on November 8, 1932, in Fond du Lac, WI to the late Frederick and Eva (nee Wurtz) Campbell.
Chuck grew up in Milwaukee, WI and graduated from Rufus King High School in 1951. He enlisted in the Air Force on November 9, 1951, the day after his 19th birthday. Chuck was a mechanic in the Air Force for four years. He was stationed in Greenland during the Korean War.
Chuck married his high school sweetheart, Carol (nee Oudinot), on October 14, 1952. He came home on leave for the weekend so they could get married. After the service, Chuck spent most of his career spray painting for Grob, Inc. in Grafton. For several years, he also worked a second job at the Spur station in Cedarburg. He often traded oil changes for Tomaso's pizza. Chuck retired from Grob in 1994.
Chuck loved working on cars and growing huge pumpkins in the garden. He shot darts and played Sheepshead. He was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers. He used to go to Packer games at County Stadium. Chuck also enjoyed vacationing "up North" in the summers. They rented cabins in various locations around the state when the boys were young, and they built a cabin in Waupaca in 1972 and that's where "up North" has been since then.
Two of the highlights of Chuck's life were watching his grandchildren grow up and going on an Honor Flight to Washington D.C.
Chuck is survived by his wife of almost 73 years, Carol, and his two sons, Jim (Irene) and Gary (Amy). Chuck is further survived by his five grandchildren, Jason, Kelly, Matt, Allison, and Heather, and his five great-grandchildren, Oisin, Gage, Mikaela, Cashaes, and Jordynn.
Chuck is preceded in death by his parents, his mother-in-law, Agnes Oudinot, his father-in-law, Robert Oudinot, his brother-in-law, Robert Oudinot, and his half-sister, Carol Richards.
A memorial celebration of life will be held on Saturday, September 20th at 10:00 a.m. at Phillip Funeral Home in West Bend. Visitation will be from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., followed immediately by the funeral service with Pastor Paul Mittermaier officiating. Afterward, committal will take place at Washington County Memorial Park.
Memorials may be directed to St. John's Lutheran Church in Jackson, WI.
