Captain Campbell Obituary
He truly embraced the Florida lifestyle, spending his days boating, fishing and golfing. As a boat captain, David had many adventures in fascinating countries. He will be dearly missed and always remembered. "If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends." - Enoch Powell.
David is survived by his daughters, Alexandra and Rebecca Campbell; mother, Jane Campbell; brother, Stephen Campbell; sisters, Beth Campbell-Boiselle and Christine Campbell; many nieces and nephews; and his loving partner, Patricia Glah.
David was predeceased by his father, Collin "Soupy" Campbell.

I was very sorry to learn of the Dave's death. I knew Dave many years ago when he was my student at St. Bernard's High School in Connecticut. He always had a lot of energy and enthusiasm. May he rest in peace.

Heartfelt sympathy to Dave family & friends, from one of his classmates @ SJS class of 1966. RIP my friend. Wish I knew you were in Florida. I have been there several times as one of my daughters' lives there and 3 of my grandchildren.

I spent much of my youth (St.Joseph's,SBHS) with David.I and many others were proud to call him a friend. From "walking the tracks" to building clubhouses in early yrs to "cruising " with Dave and friends in his VW Bus. David will always be remembered with a smile by all who knew him. R.I.P. old friend.

To the entire Campbell Family,
SJS'66, SBBHS'70 I'm deeply saddened to learn Dave is no longer with us. We were close friends during our school days and spent a lot of time together. I'm sorry we were unable to reconnect in later years.
It's comforting to know he found his place in the sun. May he be granted eternal rest.
