Growing up in Cranbrook, BC, I fondly remember Colin and the whole Campbell family as being wonderfully warm people with hearts of gold. As an adult, my husband & I were fortunate to carry that friendship forward with many good times recalled. Colin will be missed dearly. He laughed easily and was always generous with his fireside stories & wit. Our thoughts are with Iris, Stephen & Shelley.
Thank you to everyone for your kind & loving thoughts.
Iris
The world has lost another great sole! Colin was a man’s man who loved to share the outdoors with the love of his life Iris. His quiet disposition and peaceful manner made him loved by everyone!
We will miss you good buddy!

i had the very great pleasure of calling on Colin as a salesman, it was an honour and a priviledge to have known him one great person
Words can not tell you how we Loved Colin. He was a true Gentleman and always made us feel special. Colin is so special to us and our Family. xoxo
Dear Iris,
I am so sorry to hear that Colin has passed away. He was a great man. He was also a very lucky man to have such a lovely wife for 46 years. I will never forget the fun times that we had when we were neighbors.

Dear Iris and family,
I was very saddened to recently learn of Colin’s passing. As a next door neighbour for 8 years, I have many warm memories of the times that we shared, visiting over a coffee, a beer or a snack or two. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you adjust to your loss.
Rest in Peace, Colin!
