Archie Campbell, 82, of Riverview, passed away peacefully at the Moncton Hospital on Thursday, February 9 with his loving family by his side. Born in Milltown NB on August 14th, 1929, he was the son of the late Roy and Audrey (Smith) Campbell.
Archie graduated from Milltown High School in 1948. He then attended Normal School in Fredericton where he graduated with his teacher’s license in 1955. He began teaching at St. George High, moved on to MacDonald Consolidated School in Kingston, and then moved to Caledonia Regional High, where he retired in 1989 after 34 years of teaching.
Some of Archie’s passions were gardening, reading, the Boston Red Sox, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and of course having a good ole’ laugh with the boys at Tim Horton’s. He was a wonderful cook and enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. He and Sylvia spent their summers at their camp in Long Reach where he enjoyed riding his tractor Cubby. He was a past member of the order of the Eastern Star, Masonic Lodge Victoria Chapter No. 26 F&AM in St. Stephen and Coverdale Lodge No.52 F&AM in Riverview and was a member of St. John The Baptist Anglican Church in Riverview.
Archie will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Sylvia (nee Smith); daughters, Melanie Campbell (Mike) of Salisbury, and Bonnie MacFadyen (Curtis) of Moncton; brother in law, Fraser Smith (Noeline) of Long Reach; sister in law, Rosalie Campbell of Ottawa; several nieces and nephews, his precious grandchildren, Adam, Cole and Thea and loving cats Chester and Chloe. Other than his parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Barbara Landry, and a brother, Eugene.
