We Remember
CAMPEAU, Aurele Clement
September 8, 1938 — June 6, 2024
Aurele passed away peacefully at the age of 85, on June 6, 2024, after a long battle with stroke and cancer. He fought the brave fight to the end.
Forever an optimist, he always chose to see the positive side of things. His favourite saying was “MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!”. Aurele was a kind, caring, thoughtful, honest, and generous man, always thinking of his family and friends. He was the consummate host and loved to entertain and have parties. He loved to motivate people to better themselves and helped many have very successful careers in his over 50 years in the Insurance business. He definitely left his mark in his time with us on this earth and will be dearly missed by many who loved him.
Aurele is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years, Louise Agnes Lord; and sons, Roger Campeau (Alex Carrillo) and Richard Campeau (Joti Samra); as well as many extended family members and friends.
We’ll miss you, Dad!
Family and friends are encouraged to honour Aurele, each in their own way. No formal service will be held.

Sincere condolences Roger & Richard – the loss of a parent is never easy, may God grant you strength during these difficult times.
Auriel was indeed a special person and leader and trainer! To this day, I use his favourite expression. “make it a great day!“
I worked with Aurele at imperial Life in Winnipeg. He was a fair manager, and respected him as an employer and a person. He will be missed. Condolences to his family.
My sincere condolences to the whole family. Aurele was a legend in the financial services community in Manitoba and would always have time for a new advisors. RIP Aurele.
Nos sincères condoléances à Louise et famille. Aurèle était un homme plein d’énergie et très positif. Louise, tu étais toujours la pour le supporter. Il va nous manquer.
We were so sorry to hear of Aurele’s passing and weren’t aware he was ill. Last time I saw him was at Madeleine’s funeral which is quite a few years ago. Aurele was always so pleasant and a gentleman and proud to call him my cousin..
Louise, we are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief and sorry.

Mes sincères sympathies ma tante Louise, Richard & Roger. Loved the mention of MIAGD – have used it since the first time I saw it on his desk on Osborne. Enjoyed my visits with him as I worked directly across the street from his office. He was always positive and upbeat – an inspiration.
Take Care – have you in my prayers. Included pic from a Campeau family reunion at ” the farm”
Louise,Richard and Roger ,I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Aurele. He was the most positive people I have ever met. I’m one of those people who Aurele motivated to have a successful career in the insurance industry. He also helped me in other areas of my personal life and I’m forever grateful. I too often use his expression Make It A Great Day. May God continue to Bless the Campeau family.
