MCpl (Retd) Robert Bruce MacDonald Born In: Dutch Brook Passed on: July 1st, 2016 It is with broken hearts that we, the family of Rob MacDonald, announce his tragic passing as the result of a motorcycle accident on July 1, 2016. He was 53. Son of the late Malcolm ‘Mackie’ MacDonald and Norma (Sparling) MacDonald, he grew up in the community of Dutch Brook, Cape Breton. After graduating from Vocational School he worked for a few years and then enlisted with the Canadian Armed Forces. He did basic training in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, graduating in 1984, and was posted to bases in Petawawa, Ont., Lahr, Germany and Gagetown, N.B. He served with the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise’s). He retired from the Armoured School in Gagetown. From his early childhood, Rob loved the outdoors. He would go into the woods behind the family home and snare rabbits, which he sold to folks at the neighbourhood service station in Dutch Brook. He loved hunting and fishing, driving an ATV or motorcycle, boating, camping, and he simply loved campfires. He will be fondly remembered by his many cousins for the great fireworks displays at the annual cousin’s party in P.E.I. Wherever he lived and wherever he worked, Rob made friends easily and could strike up a conversation with anyone. His broad smile, wonderful sense of humour and quick wit will be missed by all who knew him. He pulled the best pranks, some of which are legend. Predeceased by his father, Mackie, Rob is survived by his mother, Norma MacDonald of Dutch Brook, N.S. He is also survived by his loving partner, June Smith, and her daughter, Katelyn; his daughter, Amanda (Nathan Stewart) and his son, Bradley, both of Fredericton, N.B.; sisters, Gayle MacDonald of Halifax, N.S., Laurie MacCuish (Rick) of Dutch Brook, N.S.; brother, Kevin of Dartmouth, N.S.; nieces, Ainsley MacCuish and Breagh MacDonald Rahn; and nephew, Eris MacDonald Rahn; his aunt, Kathy MacDonald of Dutch Brook; many cousins and many, many friends.

Gary David Campbell Born In: Mill Creek Born: July 8th, 1950 Passed in: North Sydney Passed on: July 3rd, 2016 While he will forever be in our hearts and minds, it is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. Gary found peace on Sunday, July 3, 2016, at the Northside General Hospital, with his family by his side. Born in Mill Creek on July 8, 1950, he was the son of the late Aloysius and Josephine (Marsh) Campbell. In his early years, Gary was employed on the lake boats, and later worked as a truck driver for Harrietha’s Transfer. Known for years to enjoy fishing and hunting, Gary spent his later years close to home with family and friends, where he was most comfortable. Gary is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, the former Wendy MacInnis; daughters, Tammy, Angela (Christian) and son, Jordan (Lynda). He will be missed by his precious grandchildren, Ayslynn, Donovan, Samantha and Adalynn, as well as his great-granddaughter, Sophia. Gary is also survived by his brother, Darrell (Manuela); sisters, June (Brent Evans), Carol MacIntyre, Lynn and Marina (Brian Mullins). Gary will be deeply missed by his nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and close friends, by whom he was greatly loved. Besides his parents, Gary was predeceased by his cherished brother-in-law, Robbie MacInnis and his wife, Carol, New Brunswick. In keeping with Gary’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral.
