Campisi has been a long-serving volunteer, player and member of the Leeton-Whitton Football and Netball Club and was recognised for years of hard work.

After being unwell and unable to attend the 2019 Crows presentation night, Campisi was finally handed his life membership honour late in the year at the club's annual general meeting.

Campisi started playing football in 1975 and continued until 1994 for the then Whitton Tigers Football club.

The exact number of games is unknown due to records being destroyed by fire.

While playing football for the Tigers Campisi began his involvement with the club's committee.

While some of the records were lost in this fire, a minutes booked from the 1980s showed Campisi was a committee member during this time, vice president and then treasurer for the Tigers in the early 1990s.

When the merger between the Whitton Tigers and the Leeton Redlegs happened in 1995n Campisi continued playing football for the year.

He then decided to hang up his boots and retire from playing, but found the lure of football and camaraderie of a team sport too great.

So with that, Campisi became a strapper for the Leeton-Whitton Crows in 1996, which is a position he continues to perform to this day for the club.

Over the last few years he has also been one of the Crows' delegates to the Showground Management Committee and the Showground Trust.

Campisi is also known for always helping out at working bees, cooking at the Leeton Show and his continued dedication to his strapping duties doesn't go unnoticed.
