To the Campbell Family,
We were greatly saddened to hear of Bill&&single&&s passing. We missed him as our friendly neighbour on James Street when he moved, and now we will miss him as a friend. We enjoyed our visits with him as he always had a big smile, a hug and a handshake. While he lived on James Street we were always treated with fresh baked muffins and his homemade jam at our visits. At Christmas I returned the favour and baked him treats. In the winter he would put out unshelled peanuts in the bird feeder on my Gingko tree, to the feed our local white squirrel.
Mike and I will continue to have wonderful memories of a great man.

While we have never met, I know Bill was greatly loved by the love and visits Tara and her children bestowed upon him… love is shown by how much you are loved by others… he was obviously a greatly loved grandfather and great-grandfather.

I will miss my visits with Mr. Campbell at Huronview. He was a neighbour of my mother (Genevieve Allen) at Goderich Place, and when he also moved to Huronview, we chatted all the time. He always had a smile and cheerful words. We will miss his company.
