Obituary of Douglas Ross Campbell

Campbell, Douglas Ross -- It is with heavy hearts the family of Doug Campbell announces his peaceful passing at the Saint John Regional Hospital on Saturday, December 10, 2016. He was born in Saint John on October 29, 1942 to the late Alan and Renee (Bazin) Campbell. A graduate of Ricker College, Houlton, ME, Doug joined the company of Hall & Fairweather Insurance in 1967 where he served as President from 1974 until 2006. Professionally, he also served on a number of Boards and Committees. Doug’s life was centered around his family, friends and sports. As an avid hockey fan, he was involved with the Lancaster Minor Hockey Association during the 1980’s as both a coach and volunteer. He was a member of the Carlton Union Masonic Lodge, the Luxor Shriners where he was in the Motor Corp and the Royal Order of Jesters. He was also a member of the Cliff Club and White Rapids Fishing Club. Doug’s passion in sport was golf, were he excelled as a player, volunteer and administrator. He was a life-long member of the Westfield Golf Club serving on various boards and committees including Club President (1975). He was a Past-President of the New Brunswick Golf Association (1973-1974) and served as the non-playing captain of the 1974 NB Willingdon Cup Team. More recently he was actively involved with the Westfield "Masters". Despite his best efforts and desire to capture this elusive title he was never fitted for the "coveted" green jacket. One of his greatest achievements was his induction into the Westfield Golf Club Wall of Fame for his contributions both on and off the golf course. Doug is survived by his wife of 49 years, Jane (Wyman); sons Andrew (Beth) and David (Grace) and granddaughter Katie who lovingly called him "Dippy". He is also survived by his brother Ian, Regina, SK; sister in law Judy; niece Melissa; nephews, Daniel and Brian and special cousins Micheline MacDonald and Denise D’Aoust.
