In 1943 Lew joined the armed forces and was trained as a tank driver, serving in England and Holland. On his return to Montreal, Lew worked many different jobs, married his sweetheart Mary in 1948, and finally joined Shell Canada as an operator. Lew thrived at Shell. In 1962 Lew was transferred to Oakville, Ontario to work on the start-up of a new refinery. He worked at the Oakville plant and saw it through to its shutdown in 1983. Through hard work and diligence he rose through the company to become an expert in the education & training of refinery personnel. As a recognized leader in this field, Lew was a member of the American Petroleum Institute and attended many conferences across the USA and Canada, including sharing his expertise with refinery workers in Thailand. After retirement, Lew and Mary travelled widely throughout the USA and were regular snowbirds in Gulf Shores, Alabama. They also enjoyed cruises around North America, the Caribbean, and an amazing cruise starting in Brazil and sailing around Cape Horn to finally land in Chile. Golf was a pastime both Lew and Mary enjoyed. As a young man in Montreal, Lew joined the Masonic Lodge. When he moved to Oakville, he affiliated with Claude M Kent Lodge and was an active member of the Lodge throughout his life. Lew was also a proud member of the Rameses Shrine and an active member of the Oakville Shrine Club. He will be fondly remembered as the bass drummer in their marching band, entertaining children in Shrine parades across southern Ontario. Lew Campbell was an active member of the Presbyterian Church and was most recently an Elder at Knox Sixteen.

Online condolences at www.koprivataylor.com OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY Always so good, unselfi sh and kind, none on this earth your equal I'll fi nd. Honourable and true in all your ways, loving and faithful to the end of your days, honest and liberal, ever upright, just in your judgment, always right; loved by your friends and all whom you knew, one in a million, that person was you. A sweet little flower, nipped in the bud, no grief or sorrow knew; just came to earth to win our love and then to Heaven withdrew. No stain was on your little heart, sin had not entered there; and innocence slept sweetly on that pale white brow so fair. You were too pure for this cold earth, too beautiful to stay, and so God's holy angel bore our darling one away. Gone is the face we loved so dear, silent is the voice we loved to hear. The rolling stream of life rolls on. OBITUARIES
