Donald and his wife Irene were the first Campbells I met when tracing my genealogy. He insisted that my family and I join them at Lac Du Bonnet for a few days while we put together our family history. From that we were able to connect with all the brothers and sisters. Thank you Donald - Posted by: Mel Campbell () on: Feb 09, 2013

Mr. "C" will be sadly missed by our entire family. We will miss the talks on the front lawn, the stories about his time defending our country during the war. He was a gentle sole and a pleasure to have as a friend and neighbor. God bless you Don and we will miss you. - Posted by: Hirsch Family (Friend and Neighbor) on: Feb 09, 2013
