Campagna was widely known in Suffolk not only for his friendly personality but also as the owner of M.

He had an approachable nature that made everyone feel welcome, whether he was sharing a laugh with an old friend or offering encouragement to someone who needed it.

People have taken to social media and local gathering spots to share memories of his generosity — from small acts of kindness to the larger gestures of support he gave during difficult times. These reflections paint a picture of a man who valued connection and was always willing to lend a helping hand.
