Dr. Campbell was a strong supporter of minor sports in our community and was always present at hockey or ball tournaments as a volunteer physician. His dedication to our youth and sports was recognized by all of those he most willingly agreed to assist. His presence is deeply missed, whether at the Hospital, the Arena or the ball park.
