WILLIAM T. CAMPION
70. Passed away on Saturday, March 18, 2006 at the home of his
daughter and son-in-law, Kris and Glen Rivers in Winter Park, Florida.
He is survived by Ginger, his loving wife of 47 years; his sister,
Shirley Peterson from Des Moines, Iowa, Kris and Glen Rivers and
their four children Jeremiah, Callie, Austin and Spencer; his son
and daughter-in-law Tom and Karen and their daughter Kayla from
Charlotte, North Carolina; his son and daughter-in-law John and
Sharon Erwin and their daughters Emma and Shannon from Racine, and
his son and daughter in law Rob and Laura (Aguilar) and their sons
Bryan and Eli from Brookfield, and nieces and nephews. He was preceded
in death by his parents Luella and William Campion and his in-laws
Myrtis and Claire Stallman. Bill is fondly remembered by special
friends Bill Groth, Steve Stewart, Tom Nevers, Tom Curtis, Bettye
Rivers, Mary Weinfurter and Mary Pat Siewert.
Born on February 26, 1936 in Des Moines, Iowa, he graduated from
the University of Iowa where he met the love of his life, Ginger
and fostered his life-long enthusiasm for the Iowa Hawkeyes. He
received an M.S. Degree in Physical Therapy from Iowa. His career
in Physical Therapy spanned over 40 years and included several highly
successful business creations spawned by his entrepreneurial spirit
and a love and passion for his profession. Bill was a pioneer in
the areas of PT private practice and contract services, but never
strayed far from his love of patient care. Bill loved to be outside,
enjoying years of family vacations at the cottage and at the beach.
Music was a source of great joy in his life as were his beloved
pets. Through his passion for golf, he met and treasured the friendship
of his many golfing buddies. Ultimately, what brought him the greatest
satisfaction was spending time with his family. Whether playing
countless games of basketball or attending numerous activities with
his grandkids, Bill was always happiest when he was with his family.
Throughout his journey, Bill taught us the meaning of courage as
he bore his burden of cancer with grace, humor and dignity. He refused
to see himself as a cancer victim and continued to travel and live
life to the fullest.
Visitation at the Funeral Home on Monday, March 27 from 4 PM until
the time of Memorial Service at 7 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family
suggests donations to Elmbrook Humane Society or a charity of your
choice appreciated.
