Frederic Campling passed away on Jan. 27, 2022. He was 93. He was predeceased by his wife Joan (Arts’49) and his brother, Electrical Engineering Professor Charles Campling. He is survived by his children, Kathleen (Douglas Smyth), Robert (Com’79), Jo-Anne Lacroix (NSc’80), Nancy (MBA’84) (Greg Burton) and Mary (Com’86) (David Procter); his grandchildren, Laura, Eric, Bryan, Michael, Michelle, Jeremy Burton (Artsci’12), and Joshua Burton (Sc’13); and nine great grandchildren.

In 1951 as a civil engineering summer student, Fred went to Kapuskasing to work on a hydro dam project for Spruce Falls Power and Paper Company Ltd., where he was introduced to the world of pulp and paper. He was hired by the company upon graduation. Fred and Joan made Kapuskasing their home for the next 40 years. Fred retired from Spruce Falls in 1991 as the president and CEO. Retirement years were spent travelling, volunteering, playing golf, skiing, and enjoying his family. He made soup and jam, tended his vegetable and flower gardens, played bridge, and made folk-art birdhouses with hand tools. A lifelong supporter of Queen’s, Fred will be remembered for a life lived to the fullest, with kindness, understanding, curiosity, and joy.

Kathryn Anne Campbell passed away on Feb. 14, 2022. She is survived by her husband John David Campbell (Com'75).

Kathryn and John met during Frosh Week in the fall of 1971 and were married in Theological Hall by Padre Laverty on May 11, 1974. Their time at ����ֱ�� remained a beloved touchstone throughout their 50 years together. One infamous story recalled how Kathryn used oil paints to write “No John David” on the steps of Victoria Hall during a lonely weekend in first year — the university had to sandblast the steps to remove her handiwork! This was but one of the many tales from ����ֱ�� told to their children Alexandra Edie (Artsci'06), Genevieve Couper (Comp'08), and Suzanne Gouthro.

Kathryn practised as a chartered accountant for many years in the Toronto, Peterborough, and Ottawa regions. She rose to the position of CFO of the City of Kanata and the City of Gloucester before returning to ����ֱ�� to complete her Bachelor of Education.

Kathryn then went on to have a fulfilling second career teaching high school to developmentally-delayed teenagers in Peterborough. She was born at home on a cold Feb. 14 Valentine’s Day in 1952 to Pat and Hope Birnie of New Liskeard. As a Valentine's Day baby, the occasion was always special for Kathryn.

She died at home in Ennismore, Ont., on Valentine’s Day, surrounded by family and many dozens of flowers, following a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. 

The family are grateful that they were able to toast her 70th birthday together and help her through the final hours of her life by sharing stories, music, laughter, and tears – many of which included ����ֱ�� memories and connections. She will be dearly missed by John, her daughters, grandchildren, extended family, and many, many friends.

Stuart Archibald passed away on Feb. 27, 2022. He is survived by Janice (Marchand), father to Ian; stepfather of Ann and Greg Folker; his mother, Ruth Ann Harris; siblings, Jon, Wally (Laura Dawson) (Artsci’86) and Susan; nephew Graham (Artsci‘20); and longtime friends Steven Fehr (Artsci’84), John Keith (Law ‘91), and Joan Harcourt, Literary Editor, Queen’s Quarterly.

Family, friends and colleagues are gutted by the sudden loss of Stuart. He was a thoughtful person and respected driver of semi-trailers and heavy off-road vehicles from his youth until early February. When not applying knowledge from his Dalhousie University BComm or his time in Goodwin Hall to the petroleum sector or atmospheric gases in Canada and the U.S., he maintained his personal fleet of “buggies” favouring the W123. Stuart’s attention to detail and depth of knowledge about the equipment in his care were unmatched. He maintained his fitness as an avid long-distance cyclist and enjoyed downhill skiing.
