Campbell, Paul “Bomber” – passed away suddenly on October 29, 2025, in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro after several months of poor health. Born in Truro, he was a son of Laura Mary (Finley) and Everett Malcolm Campbell. After his parents passed away when he was eight years old, Bomber went to live with his Aunt Grace, Uncle John, and brother, Bill.
Bomber is survived by his sons, Mac (Nadine), Paul Dartt (Joy), and Turtle; his grandchildren, MacKenzie, Samantha, Regan, Brooklyn, and Gavin; and his siblings, Nancy (Greg), Patsy (Herb), Betty, and Bill. He was also loved by many nieces and nephews. Bomber was predeceased by the love of his life, Joan (VanIderstine) and his brother, Bobby.
Bomber enjoyed golfing, curling, bowling, and hunting for as long as his health allowed. He also loved fishing. His sons, nephews and their friends have lots of stories about the Tangier fishing trips where he bravely took many teenagers into unknown weather and canoeing situations. Bomber loved reading and could often be found with a book. He was also a big sports fan and never missed a chance to cheer for his favourite teams—especially when watching Rachel Homan and his Toronto Blue Jays.
Paul truly lived up to the saying “a cat with nine lives,” as his friends, family and community are well aware. He will also be remembered for his love of his fur babies, Mookie, Wilson, and Buck.
We would like to acknowledge and thank special friend, Denise Snow, for all of her love and support to Paul over the years.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, November 15th in Brookfield Curling Club from 1-4 pm, with speeches starting at 2 pm.
