Dear Marilyn, Wayne Kendra and family
It is with heavy hearts that we learned of Neil's passing, so sad for all of you. He is now with dear Kim. Sharon called us to let us know as she read it in the paper on the ferry on the way to work in Gibsons. It has been a few years since our visit as we do not get to the coast much now that Sharon lives in the Vancouver area. We sure have had some great visits with Neil and you Marilyn and sure enjoyed Neil's cooking and our stay with you.
Your first cousin Robert and Lorraine

Neil Campbell, the Sechelt, BC - based friend of many - passed away this week. He was a warrior for good things - for hard work, for decency in human relationships, for family love, and for his faith.
Just one short year ago, almost to the day, he lost his beloved son, Kim, in a car crash that was not Kim's fault. This tore Neil up but it would have had even more devastating effect on someone without Neil’s faith. He knew he had to stick by his lifetime love, Marilyn, and his other son, Wayne. From what I understood, he observed those responsibilities like a man of stature and backbone would. Neil had stature and backbone.
I got to know Neil and Marilyn first as volunteers in my political campaigns. They cared about the community even more than the political party they supported. That was clear from Marilyn’s ongoing relationships sustained through her retail shop, a Sechelt landmark, Maribel’s Fine Fashions. It was also clear from the wide circle of friends they claimed - politics was important but friendship even more so.
Our relationship rapidly grew into a friendship. I loved the occasions when I overnighted at their place. They made sure their candidate was fed and watered. Always fed and watered very well, thanks to Marilyn! And always with good humor, thanks to both of them.
I am sad today to contemplate life without Neil. But he told me in the last couple of weeks of his confidence. He knew where he was going. His faith in his Lord gave him great hope - and Neil expects to see to see us all with him once again, no doubt.
