Pat Campbell was born on October 23, 1925 in Rice Lake, WI to Mary (Kundinger) Campbell of Park Falls, WI and Joseph Campbell of Dundalk, Ireland.

In 1935, the family moved back to Park Falls where Pat and his siblings attended St. Anthony's Grade School and Park Falls Lincoln High School. After graduation in 1943 at age 18, Pat enlisted in the US Army Air Corp. During World War II he served as a High Speed Radio and Control Tower Operator, attaining the rank of Sargent, with postings in the Azores and in France.

After military service, Pat attended the University of Wisconsin, Superior on the GI Bill. Returning to Park Falls, Pat was employed at the Butternut Veneer Mill and rose to become General Manager. In 1950, Pat married Martha Salo in Park Falls. A native of Superior, Marty was a science teacher at Lincoln High School. Marty and Pat raised 10 children and were involved in numerous civic, social, church and school organizations in Park Falls.

In 1971, the family moved to Mundelein, IL where Pat was employed in sales management in the building products industry. In 1976 the family relocated to Green Bay where Pat was employed as a regional sales manager for Certainteed Corporation until his retirement.

Pat was an avid reader, golfer, poker and bridge player and sports fan. Family was always a top priority. Marty and Pat enjoyed traveling and spent winters in Destin, FL. Travels included vacations to Europe, cruises and frequent trips visiting children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
