Obituary
Campbell, Dr. Charles Sandwith – March 1, 1925 – November 17, 2014 Died peacefully in his 90th year at Lakeridge Health, Whitby. Charles leaves behind his loving children John (Jerrolyn), James (Karen) and Susan (Sean) and grandchildren Alexander, Nicolas, Olivia and Caroline. Predeceased by his beloved wife of 43 years, Dolores Frances. Charles was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and educated at Trinity College School, Port Hope, Ontario, and the University of Manitoba Medical School. After graduation, Charles moved to Toronto and trained at St. Michael’s Hospital where he met Dolores. In 1956, they married and moved to Oshawa, where they raised their family. He practiced surgery at the Oshawa General Hospital for over 40 years where he also served as Chief of Staff. Charles had music in his bones. From his years in the school choir at TCS, to the “Merry Meds” at university, to the choir at St. George’s Memorial Anglican Church where he sang for over 50 years. Charles’ voice resonated wherever he went. He was also a regular lead actor in various musical productions of the Oshawa Choral Society. A passionate golfer and gardener, Charles left a lasting impression on those he met. Always the perfect gentleman, he led through his character – his integrity and his commitment to his family and his profession. With his dear brother Graham, they built adjacent cottages in Muskoka, where their two families passed blissful summers and built strong relationships. Thanks to the staff at Lakeridge Health Whitby, and in particular Michelle Acorn. Special thanks also to Trish, Marilyn, Cassandra, Khadie, Debbie, Carol, Rose, Courtney, Lindsey, Lindsey, Dora, Andrea, and Julie, PSWs who spent countless hours with Charles at various stages over the past four years.
