Hugh will be greatly missed by his family, including the "Western Campbell Clan", notably, his late brother John (2019) and sister-in-law Rhonda, his bridge playing companions, and all of his friends.
Hugh was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and received Civil Engineering degrees from University of Manitoba (BASc) and McGill (MASc). He moved to Toronto from Montreal in 1966 with wife Lee and family, to continue his lifelong career at Dominion Bridge, where he worked on some of Canada's most iconic structures, including the CN Tower and the "SkyDome".
He fully retired in 2000 after working as a Consultant to the company.
Hugh and Lee moved to Peterborough in the late 1990's, hosting family visits, and playing competitive bridge, which was a lifelong passion of Hugh's.
When Lee passed away after 48 years of happy marriage, Hugh re-married, and with Joan Humphreys created a wonderful extended family.
Hugh and Joan enjoyed many years of travel and loving companionship.
The family would like to thank the staff at PRHC and Royal Gardens for their care of Hugh over the past few years.
In keeping with Hugh's wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date when family is permitted to gather.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made, in memory of Hugh, to the PRHC Foundation.
