January 25, 1932 – May 4, 2017

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of George “Buster” Campbell on May 4, 2017. 

George was born in Kamloops, BC on January 25, 1932. He is survived by his loving wife (Irene) of a 58 year marriage, sons David (Shelley) and Howard (DeAnne), grandchildren Brett, Courtenay and Taryn (Jean-Marc). He is also survived by three sisters-in-law Margaret, Midge Marie (Ed) and Winnie (Jerry) and one brother-in-law Don, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Predeceased by his father George and mother Georgina (Crocker). 

George was raised in the Kamloops area until he enlisted in the Military and was posted at the Namao Air Force base. It was there that he met Irene (who was from his hometown) and married her on May 9, 1958. After their Military term, they decided to raise their family. George began his career with Canada Post in Kamloops. They then moved to Prince George where he continued his Canada Post career until he retired in 1987. 

After their retirement, they decided to move back to Kamloops where George enjoyed providing the family taxi services and being the spectator at his grandchildren’s many sporting activities. 

Many thanks from the family to all the Health Care professionals at RIH, Ponderosa and Overlander for the exceptional care. 
George will be cremated and Schoening Funeral Home will be in charge. 

A Service will be held at Schoening’s on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 2:00 pm officiated by Dan Sargent. 

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Alzheimer’s Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.
