William CAMPBELL Obituary

Published by Calgary Herald from Feb. 2 to Feb. 4, 2012.
CAMPBELL, William (Bill) Alexander
April 3, 1931 - January 31, 2012
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Bill, at the age of 80 years, after a short and courageous battle with cancer. Bill was born in Alyth, Perthshire, Scotland and immigrated to Canada in 1951. He grew up working on the farm in Scotland before moving to Canada where he spent 28 years with the Calgary Police Service. Bill was a past Master of the St. Marks Lodge and past D.D.G.M. He was the proud recipient of the Alberta Centennial Award. Bill was predeceased by his beloved wife Olive in November of 2010. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Margaret (Don) Maxwell; son Bill (Nancy), and his cherished grandchildren he was so proud of, Donny, Laura and Meghan Maxwell and Ashleigh Campbell. Bill also leaves to mourn his passing, his sister Moira and her family in Australia and his sister Sheila and brother Norman and their families in Scotland. Funeral Services will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY'S Park Memorial Chapel (5008 Elbow Drive S.W., Calgary, AB) on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com . If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Canadian Cancer Society, 200 - 325 Manning Road N.E., Calgary, AB T2E 2P5 (Telephone 403-205-3966, email donorservices@ cancer.ab.ca ) or to the Calgary Poppy Fund and Veteran's Food Bank, No. 1, 4539 - 6 Street N.E., Calgary, AB T2E 3Z6. The family would like to express their deep gratitude to the Doctors and staff of Units 32 and 36 at the Foothills Hospital. In living memory of Bill Campbell, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park.

Bill ( Mr Campbell ) had a zest for life and lived it to the fullest. Proud of his family, unfailingly served his City and adopted country. He enjoyed Stampeder Football, Calgary Flames Hockey and was a pretty good bowler too. Always there to lend a friend a hand or to help out his neighbour ( like us ). We will miss you Bill. May God Bless you and your family, always.... ( B & D Block in Calgary )

Bill and Margaret,
I had the priviledge of working with your Dad in the Calgary Police Force as it was called then. Although we didn't see each other much after he retired we did speak from time to time especially about his bagpipping skills and always had a good laugh.I am unable to attend the service as I spend the winter in Arizona, RIP Bill
