Campbell - Boswell Spencer (Buffy) Campbell
On August 19, 1997, Buffy passed away at the age of 68 at the Palliative Care Unit of the Prince Edward Home, surrounded by his wife, Beatrice, his children, his three grandchildren who were especially dear to him, Rev. Daphne Blaxland who was a great comfort to Buffy during his illness and caring staff of the Palliative Care Unit.
Although Buffy was diagnosed with cancer four years earlier, he surprised everyone by recovering from surgery and returning to what he had done and loved for 51 years - fishing. However, in early 1997 he was beginning to feel the effects of the cancer again. He underwent chemotherapy, then was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on June 8. He endured surgery and tremendous pain but always managed to smile and make others smile. Once again Buffy surprised his family and doctors by fighting the illness with a determination he was known for. On June 25 he was moved to the Palliative Care Unit of the Prince Edward Home. At first he didn't like the idea but he soon settled in, mostly due to the extraordinary kindness and care he received from the nurses and staff and the Island Hospice Volunteers, particularly Angus Geldert and Meg Henderson. He was constantly surrounded by family and friends and told everyone who visited about the special picture handing in his room. His son-in-law Wayne, who was also a fisherman, gave him the picture - a lighthouse with a tiny blinking light - to guide him home for the last time. The picture was very important to him and he proudly explained its significance to everyone.
Left to cherish his memory are his mother, Mrs. Harold (Gertie) Stewart, wife Beatrice, daughters Helen (Wayne) Macwain, Edna (Rick) White, grandchildren, A.J. Brad and Kristy. Also survived by his brother Wendell (Lois) Crane, sisters Isabelle Nicholson and Hannah (Donald) Shaw. He was predeceased by his brother Bennett and Brother-in-Law Ralph Nicholson.
Buffy's funeral was held from Ferguson's Montague Funeral Home on August 21, 1997, with Rev. Daphne Blaxland conducting the service.
Pallbearers were Victor Campbell, Elwood MacLeod, John MacKinnon, Charles Campbell, Gary MacSwain and Rick Crane. Flowerbearers were Shawn MacLennan, Joanne Crane, Roy Campbell, Wendy Crane-Hicken, Tim Gormley and Melborne Campbell. Buffy was gently laid to rest in Peter's Road Cemetery.

After receiving his Doctor of Motors Certificate in Baltimore, Maryland, Aeneas was employed as Service Foreman for some 30+ years at F.R. McLaine Ltd. Aeneas truly enjoyed working for his customers in this field and was greatly respected by all who had an opportunity to do business with him. After his retirement, he continued to 'tinker' with cars as a hobby and you could always find him 'on his bench' at the C.D.P, enjoying the Harness Racing. Aeneas also enjoyed nothing more than spending a Saturday night with his wife and grandson, in front of the T.V., cheering on the Maple Leafs.
