In 1951, Mac opened a branch of Nightingale Hayman on Commercial Street in Dartmouth as its sole employee. Through a series of regional and na­tional mergers and several physical moves within Dartmouth, he eventually landed at the Royal Bank Building on Portland Street. He became partner, of­fice managing partner, and eventually Senior Partner of the Dartmouth Office of Canada’s largest public accounting firm, Thorne Ridell, now KPMG. He re­tired from public practice in 1988. He enjoyed being a chartered accountant and within the profession, Mac has served on various Committees of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nova Scotia and was an elected member of the Institute Council for 10 years, culminating with his term as President in 1960/61. He also served as Nova Scotia representative on sev­eral Committees of the Canadian Institute of Char­tered Accountants. In 1978, Mac was awarded the designation Fellow Chartered Accountant, or FCA, by his peers in recognition of his outstanding contribu­tion to his profession and his community. His greatest enjoyment and achievement was personally training and nurturing his CA students into mature, compe­tent CAs. Mac joined the Dartmouth Chamber of Commerce upon his arrival in Dartmouth in 1951, and chaired various Committees and fulfilled a term as Treasurer. As an active member of St. James Unit­ed Church, he served on both the Board of Stewards and the Session, as Church Advisor, and was Treasur­er of the Church Hall Building Fund and served as Chair of Board of Trustees. He was a member of the church for over 55 years. Mac joined the Kiwanis Club of Dartmouth in 1951, and again chaired various com­mittees and served as President in 1968.

Mac was also predeceased by his brothers, Robert and John, and by his grandson, Scott Murray. Mac’s concern for family, clients, and community was demonstrated not only by his professionalism, but al­so by his constantly positive attitude, and also by the respect he showed to all those with whom he came in contact. He was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, and in turn had won the respect of all who knew him. In later years, he lived with Alzheimer’s and touched many caregivers with his easy smile and gracious nature.

Campbell, Graham Dugald, 77, of Bible Hill, Truro. It is with sadness, the family of Graham Campbell announces his passing on Thursday, May 20th, 2021 in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre after a short battle with cancer.
He was born in Halifax, NS. Graham was a son of the late John (Jock) and Jean Campbell (Murray). In his younger years, Graham spent time with his family in Hantsport, Weymouth, and Lahave. He loved being by the ocean and would take any opportunity to be on the water. He found a love for riding horses in his teenage years with the Halifax Bengal Lancers. During his time with the Lancers, he travelled to Ottawa for national performances and performed for the Queen during her visit to Halifax. Graham was a member of the Halifax Antique Car Club and refurbished a Model T-Ford.
Graham was a military reservist with the Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) branch in Halifax and volunteered with the Bedford Fire Department. Graham moved to Truro early in his career to settle with his young family. Graham developed many long-lasting friendships during his years in Truro and was a dedicated member of First United Church.
Graham’s true work and labour of love was found in his 55 year affiliation with the many organizations of the Masonic Order. Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia, Masonic Lodge Truro 43, Philae Shriners Halifax Clown Unit, Royal Arch Chapter in Truro and Central Shrine Club.
As a young boy, during his summer months in Hantsport, he participated in his first parade as a clown and later in life further enhanced his skills as “Beeper” the Clown at the Northeast Clown Institute in Plymouth, MA. His work with the Shriners Clown Unit was his true passion. He was very well known throughout Nova Scotia and would never miss a parade. Graham loved to make people happy, especially the little ones, whose smiles fueled his joy for life. Whether it was through Beeper in parades and birthday parties, or helping as Santa at holiday functions. Graham spread joy with his pleasant demeanour, his jokes, and his red nose.

The family would like to thank Rev. Valerie Kingsbury for her endless support, the strong and supportive Palliative Care Team, the caregivers from Nurse Next Door who were so kind and gentle, and the VON who were involved in Graham’s care.
Cremation has taken place. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions and public health guidelines, a Celebration of Life and Masonic Service will be planned for a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity of one’s choice or to the one closest to Graham’s heart, the Shriners Hospital for Children.
