Born in Main-a-Dieu, he was the son of the late Elias and Loretta (Lahey) Campbell. He was a fisherman by trade and enjoyed the challenge of a hard day’s work. So much so that the ocean was like his second home. When on the water he was in his element. In his spare time he loved spending time with the grand kids and enjoyed getting together with family and friends for a good game of tarbish or darts. He enjoyed many trips to the Athletic Club. He was a friend to many and a pleasure to be around. Elias was a member of Immaculate Conception Parish.
