Campbell, Maurice ~ We
all loved very much our Dad/Grandad/Great Grandad, Frederick Maurice
Campbell, who passed away on August 24, 2017, just a few months before
his 102nd birthday. Maurice was born
on October 3, 1915 to parents, Thomas and Margaret, and older brother,
Colin. The family struggled through the Great Depression in Montreal
during which time Maurice managed to find work that would set him on
his career as a Chartered Accountant. Maurice met Marguerite and they
married on September 16, 1939. Maurice had joined the Black
Watch in high school and remained with the Royal Highland Regiment in
Montreal during World War 2 as a piper, marching the streets and
playing his bagpipes to raise morale and money for war bonds. His
daughter, Marjorie, was born in 1941, and his son, Peter, in
1944. The family moved to Guelph in the 1950s. Marjorie met
and married Gorman Rosekat. Three grandchildren, Laura, Sandra, and
Jeff, joined the crowd in 1966, 1969, and 1972. Sandra married Steve
Jones, and (gradually) brought three great grandchildren to the party:
Devon, Spencer, and Matthew. Jeff married Elisa Gerardo, and added two
more great grandchildren to the mix: Lucas and Nicolas, and then Laura
brought Liam into the fold. And we all welcomed Howard Parliament into
the family when he married Marjorie in 2002. All of us will be on hand
at and after the celebration of Maurice’s life, and we look
forward to meeting you and hearing your favourite memories of
Maurice. Of course, a number of important people will not be
there, as they are already waiting to welcome Maurice Home. His
parents, Thomas and Margaret, his brother Colin, his wife, Marguerite,
and their son, Peter, and son-in-law, Gorman Rosekat, best friends,
Bob Robson and Elsie Swanston, and many more friends and extended
family are waiting for Maurice with smiles and open
arms.
A service to celebrate Maurice’s life will be held
at the Chapel of the Elliott Community (170 Metcalfe Street, Guelph)
on Saturday, September 2, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. Please join us at the
service and for coffee afterwards and share your favourite memories of
Maurice. Instead of flowers, we ask that you
consider making a donation to the Elliott Community, which played an
important part in Maurice’s life for some 30 years, starting
with his life lease condo, moving to the retirement community, and on
to the long-term care facility. The nurses and staff took such
excellent and loving care of Maurice in his later years, and your
support and donations will help them continue their work with so many
others. We thank you so much for being part of
Maurice’s life and for your support and prayers as we
remember him and celebrate his life and his journey
Home.
Arrangements entrusted to the
GILCHRIST CHAPEL – McIntyre
& Wilkie Funeral Home, One Delhi Street, Guelph,
(519-824-0031). We invite you to
leave your memories and donations online at: www.gilchristchapel.com
and they will be forwarded to the family.
