He was a finalist in the Premier’s Award of Excellence in the Arts for 2010 and 2014. He was also honoured with a 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award from Coordinating Body Arts Culture Heritage. A family member tells the Nugget that Campbell grew up in Niagara Falls, with humble beginnings. He was one of four boys who shared a room, sleeping in double bunks. He had one sister. Campbell attended Stamford CVI high school where he held the weight lifting and curling record which to this day have not been broken. Last November, the Nugget did a story on Campbell reminiscing about his father’s service to his country in the Second World War as part of the disastrous raid on Dieppe in 1942. Campbell annually made Christmas ornaments to give back to the community.  He told the Nugget in 2022 that “this was going to be the last time.”  Canadore College’s “Artist in Residence Emeritus” had been making Christmas ornaments since 1986. “You’ll forever be George’s favorite brother,” Donna Campbell, his sister-in-law, posted on social media Friday. Campbell leaves Terry, his wife of almost 55 years, and daughter, Alex. Funeral arrangements are still being made. Article content
