Donald T. Campbell, age 90, a lifelong Macomb County resident passed away at his home in Bruce Township on Sunday, December 23, 2018. Don was born November 9, 1928 in Warren, Michigan, the son of James & Clara (Brinkman) Campbell. He married Georgina Malburg at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Utica on November 10, 1948. Don was a truck-garden farmer at his Armada Township farm. After he retired from farming, he worked for Interpace Manufacturing making the pipeline for the Detroit Water System.

Don was known for his love of music starting early in life. He had his own polka band and played accordion for many family and friends, weddings and parties. Upon retirement he enjoyed organizing casino trips for the K of C charity benefits, and was always ready for polka dancing or calling a square dance.
