Grandpa Jim Campagna


My grandpa, James Joseph Campagna passed away on January 10, 2010, reuniting with his wife, Karen.

This is a photo of him in June of 1964 with his son, J.J. junior. It was J.J.'s first haircut, and the barbershop belonged to Jim's father.

My most cherished memory about my grandpa is the way he always got teary-eyed whenever family visits came to an end.

He will be missed.

I came to know Jim as a caring and honorable, hardworking man who loved his family. While our relationship was awkward at first (awkward, not unpleasant), I quickly came to regard him as a friend, primarily because he also demonstrated that attitude towards me. While the Campagna kids have lost their patriarch, be assured that it is only temporary. You have the eternities to look forward to.
