CAMPBELL, George Robert (Bob)
November 14, 1932 - December 2, 2025
Born November 14, 1932, in Vancouver, BC, to Margaret Jessie Anderson (later Campbell) and William George Johnston Campbell. Deceased December 2, 2025, at the Royal Jubilee Hospital, Victoria, BC, following a fall that resulted in a serious neck fracture.
Bob was the most positive guy you'd ever meet. His twinkly smile lit up the room and never failed to lift your spirits! He was wise, gentle, strong, peaceful, happy, empathic, handsome, stylish, understanding, kind and preciously stubborn! If you needed assistance with anything he would listen and give you his thoughtful advice or recommend a path to research. He was curious about the people around him and made many neighbourhood friends wherever he lived. He always had time for everyone and would tell you a story or two, maybe about his youth in Vancouver or his father's time in the war.
We extend our gratitude and appreciation to Bob's amazing doctor, whom Bob thought the world of, Dr. Jennifer Lush, for taking such great care of him over the years, along with all the nurses, doctors and staff at the Jubilee Hospital for their kindness, care, and "getting" who Bob was, during the 2 ½ months he was there.
Bob is pre-deceased by his wife, Shirley (2021), daughter, Janice (1987), and survived by his children, Ray (Barbara), Paul, Cathi, Jill and John along with his grandchildren, nephews, niece and valued friends.
