A Peter Campbell Commander RCN Rtd March 5 1927 February 24 2022

The younger son of the late Dr. And Mrs. Harold L. Campbell. Predeceased by his brother, John C. Campbell and his eldest child, A. Victoria Blattmann.
Survived by his loving wife of 71 years, Elizabeth A. Campbell,(nee Foote), and their children, Barbara C. Scheck and John P.M. Campbell (Maureen) and seven grandchildren, Lisa Gordon (Ken), Karl Blattmann (Leigh Anne), Adam Scheck (Lisa), Katherine Scheck, Justine Scheck (Derek) , Wil and Thom Campbell, and eight great grandchildren. Also survived by his son in law Bert Blattmann (Wendy), sister in law Leah Muhleman and niece Carol Brown.
Peter graduated from Victoria High School (1944) and the Royal Canadian Naval College at Royal Roads, class of 1946. He served in the Canadian Navy until his retirement in 1978. During his naval career Peter was based in Victoria, Vancouver, Kingston, Toronto, Ottawa, Saint John and Halifax in Canada; in Greenwich, Portsmouth and Northwood in England; and Washington D.C. in the United States. During this period he had the honour of commanding Her Majesty’s Canadian Ships Jonquiere, Annapolis, and Thunder.
Following his retirement, Peter and Elizabeth moved to Pender Island where they became involved in the community. He organized sailing instruction for juniors, served on the executive and as chairman of the Fall Fair Committee, served on the executive of the Royal Canadian Legion including the position of President, participated in local political affairs as a member of the Advisory Planning Commission and for six years as an elected Islands Trustee. In later years Peter devoted much of his time to the preservation of the history of the Pender Islands through the establishment of the Pender Islands Museum and Archives.
After twenty years of living on Pender Island, Elizabeth and Peter moved to Oak Bay. There, for four years he acted as the Treasurer of the Canadian Club of Victoria. Peter was a member of the Naval Association of Canada, Vancouver Island Branch, a Life Member of the Pender Island Yacht Club and a Life Member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 239 (Pender Island).
The greatest pleasures in Peter’s life were his family and friends. He loved nothing more than hosting a family dinner or dinner party and the discussions that ensued. Peter made an impact on many lives, none more so than on those of his children and grandchildren. They all remember the Razor Point report cards where A stood for Awful and F for Fantastic.
Peter enjoyed the traveling that his naval career offered, and after retirement Elizabeth and he continued to explore both Canada and points farther afield. In 71 years, they traveled by naval ship, steamship, cruise ship, airplane, bus, train, 27’ sloop, Impala station wagon, and Jeep with Boler trailer.
The family wishes to thank Dr.Kevin Wylie of the Oak Bay Medical Clinic for years of care, the staff of Berwick House where Peter and Elizabeth have lived for the last two years and the doctors, nurses and health care aides on the SW wing of the fifth floor of the Royal Jubilee Hospital.
In Peter’s memory please consider making a donation to a charity of your choice.
No service by request, a gathering will be held at a later date, to be announced.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.
