Kelly & Toots moved from Powassan to Sudbury many years ago with big dreams. After working for Imperial Oil (ESSO), Kelly operated a very successful business, Kelly Campbell Fuels, servicing the Sudbury area for more than 20 years. In 1970, Kelly became the owner/operator of Campbell Chev Olds on Frood Road in Sudbury until 1991. Sports were a big part of Kelly’s life. He was an exceptional baseball player, playing competitive fastball and going to the World Nationals in Florida. Hockey was also a big part of Kelly’s life. He played many years for Sonic North with a Sunday morning group at the Sudbury Arena. His passion for sports eventually led him to golf. He was a member of the Idylwylde Golf & Country Club for more than 40 years and was still playing at the age of 92. Many memories were made skiing at Boyne Highlands which became an annual Campbell family vacation that stretched 40 plus years. Summers were spent at Kelly & Toots cottage on Wolf Lake in Powassan.
Kelly will be deeply missed by many friends and family.
The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to the nursing staff at St Joesph’s Villa for the compassionate care they provided. In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Joesph's
Villa would be appreciated.
A celebration of his life will be held at the Idylwylde Golf & Country Club (400 Walford Road, Sudbury) on Friday, March 1st from 1 to 4 pm. Arrangements entrusted to the Jackson & Barnard Funeral Home. For donations or messages of condolence www.lougheedfunerealhomes.com.
