William Maxwell Campbell

William Maxwell Campbell, 79, passed away peacefully at Parkview Nursing Home in Wilmington, DE on July 6, 2024. William was born on December 13, 1944, to the late Stanley and Phyllis Campbell.

Bill was warm, generous, kindhearted, and sensitive with many friends, some of whom date back to early grades in St. Anthonys. Bill not only had many friends, but he was a true friend, always ready and willing to help others. He worked for Dart in Wilmington and at the beach. In his later years he enjoyed driving a school bus in Georgetown.

Bill was a lifelong hunter and enjoyed many hunting trips in Delaware and surrounding states. He loved fishing and spending time on the water, he enjoyed racquetball and loved playing cards mostly for the camaraderie, but also to share stories and share laughs.

Bill was an avid Flyers fan with seasons tickets for many years. Bill also loved Notre Dame football. It was a rare day that he was not wearing some Note Dame clothing, hat or jewelry. Bill also loved Mustangs. When he found one for sale he would travel as far as necessary to examine and possibly buy the vehicle.  Bill also loved taking car trips with Polly to many states throughout the country. Bill lived a full life, was a dear friend and will be sadly missed.

In addition to his parents, Bill is preceded in death by his wife, Polly Rogers and brother, Fred Campbell.
