Originally posted Sat, Oct 29 at 10:27 PM (Where’d it Go?)Sometime after my father died, 8 May 1954, (I was almost exactly 6-years and 7-months old at the time of his death) I spent some time living with my half-brother, Jack Jr., his wife Bobbie, and their firstborn, Chris, in Wichita, KS. I do not remember if Jeff was also there at that time, but I tend to think so. However, I am certain that Conlee came later.That short-lived, idyllic period was ‘The’ highlight of my childhood.Back then I just knew him as Jackie because that is how all of our Campbell/Graves elders referred to him. He was my full-size-adult big brother, parental figure, teacher, and Campbell family living legend.His demeanor, the aura of his reputation, and the way our family seniors spoke of him were virtually identical to how I remember our father. I am surprised to see a reflection of myself in some of the obituary text. Miss Anderson also schooled me, though only briefly. She too was a gem.As both a private and a public figure, Jackie has always been a Giant to me.My most deeply sincere condolences to Chris, Jeff, and Conlee Campbell and your loved ones.Scott T CampbellEmail: [email protected]
I worked with Jack for about 16 years until his retirement. I remember him from Oiler baseball before I worked with him. Both being Cardinal and baseball fans in general we were good friends. I sometime dream of being back on the air at KVOO and Jack is always the newsman in my dreams. I was lucky to get to spend some time with him recently and share some memories. Jack, you will always be remembered.

It’s hard to put into words how Jack influenced my early days in broadcasting. We worked together in the KVOO radio newsroom and I learned so much from him professionally and personally. He was the perfect mix of kindness, courage and intelligence and was a gifted communicator. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
Condolences to Jack's family. I went to Hutchinson High School a year behind him. I remember him in a school play
Jack was my youth group sponsor at Fellowship Congregational Church. He was an amazing guide and fun leader. In honor of Halloween my memory is him taking our youth group out to an abandoned hotel on Route 66. I would like to send condolences to Chris, Jeff and Conlee.
I just wanted to sign this guestbook in honor of my late father, Hal O’Halloran, who was a fellow broadcaster and great admirer of Jack Campbell. He always spoke very highly of Mr. Campbell and their time together at KVOO.
