James Bruce Campbell
January 8, 1932 - June 13, 2026
Peacefully, at West Haldimand General Hospital, Hagersville, on Saturday, June 13, 2026, Bruce Campbell passed away in his 95th year. Born and raised in Haldimand County, Bruce spent his life deeply connected to the community and the people he loved.
Bruce was predeceased by his beloved wife, Jean Davidson Campbell, with whom he shared a lifetime of love, family, and adventure. Together they travelled extensively, visiting all but two states in the United States and exploring much of Canada along the way.
Loving father of Jeff and Cindy, Chris and Stacey, and Luanne and Mark Robison. Proud grandfather of Greg and Katerina, Amy (Jeff), Reba and Nick (Chris), and Jessica and Matthew (Luanne). Cherished great-grandfather of Colin, Liam, and Sawyer. Dear uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Bruce was predeceased by his parents, James and Charlotte Campbell, and by his brother, John.
Bruce retired from Canadian Gypsum Company (CGC) mine after 37 years of dedicated service. In his younger years, he was actively involved in local sports, playing, coaching and refereeing hockey and umpiring baseball. He enjoyed many years on the golf course, countless card games with family and friends, and spending time with those he loved.
Anyone who knew Bruce knew he always had a story to tell. Whether sharing memories from years gone by or recounting one of his many adventures, he could always capture the attention of those around him. He was equally well known for his sense of humour and was never short of a joke—clean or otherwise. His quick wit, laughter, and gift for storytelling will be fondly remembered by family and friends.
Bruce’s greatest joy was his family. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, hard work, and cherished memories that will continue to be shared for generations to come.
The family would like to express gratitude for compassion to the staff on the third floor at West Haldimand General Hospital for their care and compassion.
Family will be having a private service. As an expression donations may be made to the West Hospital General Hospital Ladies Auxiliary. Arrangements made by Hyde and Mott Chapel, Hagersville, www.rhbanderson.com.
