Donald Erskine Campbell, of Point Shares, Pembroke, died on Sunday while visiting his daughter in British Columbia. He was 74.

Bermudian Dr. Campbell practised until the mid 1990s after joining the Bermuda Medical Associates from college in 1954.

He eventually branched out on his own when the associates disbanded and until his retirement operated from the Sea Venture building. Dr. Campbell was an active member of the Wesley Church, where he was a trustee and also represented the church at the Maritime Conference for many years.

He was a trustee of Saltus, his former school where he was head boy. Also having served on the Medical Reference Committee, he was involved with the examination of new doctors to Bermuda for many years. He also delivered many babies across the Island during his time. Dr. Campbell leaves a wife, Dorothy and three sons, Craig and Gordon, who are both doctors, and Ian, who is a dentist.

He also leaves a daughter, Elizabeth.

A memorial service is to be held on the Island and the family have asked for donations in lieu of flowers be made to the Wesley Church Missions Fund.
