Died:
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.
