Campbell: Stan Campbell, beloved husband of Elizabeth, passed away in the Powell River General Hospital on April 2, 2002, after a courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease. Stan was born in Drumheller, Alberta on April 3, 1921. Stan will be deeply missed by Elizabeth, his wife of 57 years, daughters Bonnie, Nora and Brenda and two grandchildren, Jason and Stacey. Stan is also survived by his sisters Reta Schaffer, Vivian, Viola (Chris) Lowen, brothers Donald, Robert (Emily) and Jack (Donna) as well as several nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother and father and sisters Vera, Evelyn and brother Ross. Stan joined the R.C.A.F. in 1942 and was posted overseas March 1943 at Yorkshire, England, with 408 Squadron 6 Group as a tail gunner in Lancaster bombers. He completed thirty-one missions over Germany, including eleven attacks over Berlin, four over Hamburg and over a dozen raids over Stuttgart, Essen, etc. Stan was dubbed "The Hamburg Kid" by his mates following a "shakey-do" over Hamburg on August 4, 1943. The fully bomb-laden aircraft had iced up badly and the injured pilot ordered a bail-out. Stan, although initially finding himself unable to leave the gun turret due to a stuck boot, eventually was able to get to the cockpit, right the plane after a 10,000 foot drop and fly the aircraft home to England with the injured pilot still on board. In recognition, Stan was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in England in May, 1944. In October, 1944, Stan returned to Ottawa and was chosen to represent the Province of Alberta for the Seventh Victory Loan Drive. Stan's mother, Catherine, was asked to christen a ship and Mrs. Campbell and Stan's fiance, Elizabeth travelled out to the coast. On October 21, 1944, with a cue from Stan in Ottawa, his mother christened the H.M.S. Berry Head at the Burrard Dry Dock Limited in Vancouver, British Columbia. After his discharge from the Air Force to 'Reserve' and returning to Drumheller, Stan and Elizabeth were married on February 18, 1945. Stan, his wife and their three children moved to Calgary in 1953 where he worked as a superintendent for large construction firms for the next 31 years. In 1988, Stan retired due to health problems associated with Parkinson's Disease to Gillies Bay, British Columbia, where he indulged in his love of gardening. Stan will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
