George Franklin CAMPBELL

CAMPBELL George Franklin George Franklin Campbell passed away peacefully on May 22, 2006 at the age of 84 years. He lived in the Kingsland district of Calgary since 1958. He grew up in southeastern Saskatchewan during the dust-bowl years. His early working years were spent in civil aviation and the RCAF. George was one of the first Air Traffic Controllers in Canada. Upon his marriage in 1954 he left the RCAF and moved to Calgary as regional sales representative for Pyrotenax of Canada. He remained with the company until his retirement in 1982. He is survived by his wife of fifty-two years Pat (nee Murphy), his three daughters, Kim, Robin, and Miji, and their families. George's passion was music and he played saxophone for years in small dance bands. He was also a member of the Calgary Concert Band, and in his later years he played weekly at the Southwood Seniors' Dances. It was his wish that his body be donated to science through the University of Calgary Bequeathal Program and that there be no formal Memorial Service. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to a charity of choice. Readers of this notice are asked to reflect for a moment on how they might enrich the experience of living.
