Widow reflects on life with W

LOOKING OVER the more than 300 cards and letters she

has received since the recent

loss of her husband, Pauline

Campbell thinks back on the life of a man who not only
accomplished a great deal in his 75 years, but had the gift of
encouraging others to higher achievements.

With the death of T.K. (Ken)
Campbell, Feb 12, in his West
Vancouver home, the district also
lost one of its links with the past.

The executive vice-president of
Woodward's when he retired 10
years ago, Campbell was born in
Kerrisdale, but came to live in the
district as a young boy, when his
father, Tom Campbell, bought
property. at 22nd Street and
Mathers Avenue and became the
first manager of the West Van-
couver Ferry.

«+ Educated in West Vancouver,
T.K. started working as a
stockroom boy at Woodward's in
1930.

Five years later, as an assistant
manager in the ladies wear

department, Campbell met co-
worker Pauline Evans, the daugh-
ter of a prominent engineer (build-
er of the original Georgia Viaduct)
and granddaughter of architect

his retirement parties, and the
celebration of his many achieve-
ments.

Enoch Evans. They were married -

in 1937.

Improving his skills at
nightschool business courses,
Campbell became a Woodward's
director in 1941, moving to Ed-
monton as manager of Wood-
ward’s Edmonton store in 1949.

Some 28 years later, the lights
on Jasper Avenue were kept shin-
ing green so that Edmonton police
could escort Campbell to one of

Woodward's executive vice-pcesi-
dent passes on.

These included the building of
seven stores and shopping centres
in Alberta. Among them, the Ed-
monton Centre project was an
especial challenge in that it involv-
ed two years of negotiations to

secure the two square blocks of
land necessary.

A charter member of Grouse
Mountain’s Skyline Ski Club,
Campbeli was a skiing enthusiast.
His interests also included golfing,
boating, fishing, gardening, phi-
losophy and writing poetry.

He served for many years on the
University Hospital Board and
Exhibition Board in Edmonton,
where he was also involved with
the Chamber of Commerce, Y™M-
CA, Boy Scouts, Aviation Hall of
Fame and Canadian Red Cross.

They were eventful years for
Mrs. Campbell, too, as she became
comfortable with entertaining sev-
eral hundred people at social occa-
sions.

She remembers waiting for T.K.
to get home late Christmas Eve,
after a full day of touring the
seven Woodward's stores and
shaking the hand of every
employee. .

ing arrangements for the outdoor
concerts at Stanley Park and band

Campbell retired to a life divided
between his house in Hawaii, trav-

for him and Mrs.. Campbell in
Caulfeild two years ago.

The couple celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary in 1987, join-
ed by their sons Kevan, who works
for Skytrain, and Colin, a lawyer
who also lives in West Vancouver.

Campbell was recently commis-
sioned to the board of the B.C.

of this new challenge was cut short
by his illness with cancer.

filled to overflowing for the
funeral ‘services, with 150 people
coming back to the Campbell resi-
dence to recall old times.

Campbell is also survived by his

brother, Douglas Campbell and
