My condolences to Cam´s family.
I was very saddened to hear about Cam´s passing.
I had the privilege of working with Cam at Macaulay´s tractor workshop, I started my apprenticeship under Cam in the 70,s.He definitely instilled life long skills and memories in me , both, as mechanic and life skills,
I was very fortunate to catch up recently a couple times and talked about the good old days. Thanks for installing good work ethics and teaching me social skills as a young fellow.
Rest in peace Cam.

Condolences to Campbell's family from link more than 50 years ago. Cam, a relative, lived with our family in Invercargill in the late 1950s. From Greenhills (do I remember the name of the place near Bluff correctly?), Campbell was a pleasant, honest, hard-working guy with a sense of humour. A "good bloke," as we used to say. Cam was courting Anita, and had the weekend and night use of his work ute. The second name, Cam, for Campbell, came from one of our ancestors, a pioneer settler from Edinburgh in Dunedin. My son also has the name.

I was a car apprentice "loaned" to work with Cam and staff at the Tractor Shop at Macaulay's.
Later we reconnected at Tiwai sometime after 1982.
Condolences, prayers and thoughts to all Cams family and friends.
RIP Cam.
