William 'Billy' Campbell
It is with heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of William Campbell (Billy) at the age of 76 while he was vacationing with family in Florida.
Bill was born January 9,1943 in Sydney N.S. and was the loving son of the late Malcolm and Annie McNeil.
Bill is survived by his wife, Sharon nee Porga; son, Wade (Laxmi); daughters, Nadine (Zolie), Mitzi, Melissa (Paul) and Dana (Kevin); cherished grandfather of Nicole, Johan, Liam, Christopher, Kolby, Ayaylia, Rhiley and Sierra. Bill is also survived by his sisters, Mary Broley, Carmella Moore, Carol MacKinnon; brothers, Eddy, Wayne, Jimmy; and many nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by brothers, Mack, Johnny, Lenny, and sister, Phemie Crane.
Bill was a retired member of Ironworkers Local 721 Toronto.
Though Bill thoroughly enjoyed his beer, his number one passion was his grandchildren who he cherished deeply. Second to that was sitting by the fire at his trailer in Cayuga. He could always be seen (and heard) at night sitting around the fire, singing and dancing along with friends and family.
In Bill’s later years, he enjoyed travelling around the world visiting with his children.
Cremation has taken place.
For our family and friends in Sydney, there will be a Funeral Mass on Thursday, May 23, 10 a.m. at Holy Redeemer Church, Whitney Pier
