He was the son of Willard L. Campbell (Ohio) and Anita P. Campbell-Lee, and stepson to Dion M. Lee of Lansdale, PA.
Bill was born in Abington, PA, and lived with his sister and mother for a time in Cambridge, MA. When the family returned to Pennsylvania, they settled in Glenside and Bill attended Bishop McDevitt High School, Glenside, PA.
As a young man Bill worked in landscaping, something that would lead him into a love of gardening which he enjoyed for the rest of his life.
He was also an avid fisherman and loved camping with his friends. Though he lived for a time in Texas, Bill was a true Philadelphia Eagles fan.
