Surrounded by his loving family, Ian Campbell passed away at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg on April 17, 2024 after a courageous 14-month long battle with brain cancer.  Ian was born on June 4, 1945 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England to Charles and Isabel (Peg) Campbell.  He grew up in the Belleville area. He attended Belleville area schools and graduated from Belleville High School in 1964. He married his high school sweetheart, Jane McDermott, on July 23, 1966.  He spent the beginning years of their marriage serving in the Air Force and was deployed to Vietnam. Over the years, he worked as a supervisor at Deltown, a general manager of the Super Bowl, maintenance at Cuna, and finally driving for the Belleville School District taking Marin to Janesville each day. Once he retired, you could find him working in his garden or playing euchre and having coffee at J&Ms.  If he was not at home, he was most likely fishing with Glen, his sons, his grandsons, or his friends. He fished locally or up north in Crivitz, his home away from home at Petey's place, or in the Minong area staying with the Bigler clan. Ian was involved with Fishing Without Boundaries; he served as a guide for anglers with disabilities and took them out on the lake fishing giving them an experience, they may not normally have had an opportunity to do.  Ian was also involved with the men's softball league in Belleville for 50 years.  He played in and ran the league for almost 30 years and then umpired for over another 20 years.  If it was Wednesday night in the summer, you could find him at Community Park.
