Born in Port Arthur, ON, Marvin spent his early years exploring Northern Ontario before moving to Ottawa.  He joined the Ottawa Fire Department in 1953 where he climbed the ladder to become a District Chief, making lifelong friends along the way.  He retired in 1988.

Marv met the love of his life, Norah, on a double date in 1964.  He was immediately captivated by this beautiful nurse, and they were married the following year.  Theirs was a love story for the ages; they collaborated on countless projects over the years, raising a tightly knit family and always caring for each other with deep affection. An avid music lover, Marv enjoyed sharing his favourite tunes with friends and family. 

He joined the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa as their bass drummer and travelled extensively with his ‘brothers in the band’, competing in Highland Games and bringing the joy of Scottish pipe band music to many civic celebrations. The Camerons became a second family for all of us. 
Dad loved to laugh.  He was always quick with a joke or a pun and some of our fondest memories are of him getting halfway through a joke but laughing too hard to deliver the punchline.  His humour and optimism saw him through many tough situations in life, none more challenging than his MS, which he lived with for 54 years.  He never complained and always chose to focus on the positive -- a trait that inspired everyone who knew him. 

Although we will miss him dearly, we count ourselves lucky to have had his generous presence for 89 years.  He leaves behind Norah, his beloved wife of 56 years, children Steven (Melyn), Heather (Loren), Carolyn (Duncan) andgrandchildren, Kimberly (Judd), Kristen (Redd), Chelsey (Matt), Jefferson, Leah, Zane (Reid) and four great- grandchildren. He is predeceased by his brother John (Rosalie) and parents Anne and Robert Campbell. 

We invite you to join us to celebrate Marvin’s life on Saturday, October 16, 2021.  Visitation from 10 am until service time in the chapel at 11 am. and mass (which will also be livestreamed at www.livememorialservices.com/Home/ServiceDetail/16445) at Kelly’s Funeral Home, 580 Eagleson Road, Kanata, ON, K2M 1H4 613-591-6580. **Due to COVID restrictions, friends must register their attendance for the Funeral Service by registering at  Masks and physical distancing required** **Due to COVID restrictions, friends must register their attendance for the Funeral Service by registering at www.eventbrite.ca/e/donald-marvin-campbell-tickets-178231624587  Masks and physical distancing required**

First Class Ottawa Firefighter Station 13 Platoon A

​

Active member, First Class Ottawa Firefighter Ryan Hill answered his last alarm on the afternoon of Monday, December 20, 2021 at the age 37. He was lovingly surrounded by his family at the Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus and celebrated his birthday the day before, where he lost his hard fought 1-year battle with brain cancer.

​

 Ryan will be deeply missed by his loving parents Roger and Debbie Hill (Seward) of Lindsay.  He adored his family and the love of his life Patti (nee Anderson) who will miss him forever. Superhero and wonderful loving dad to his four-year-old twin boys, Reilly and Ryker.  He will be deeply missed by his brother Andrew (Danni) and sister Sarah.  Ryan was a wonderful son-in-law to Neil and Chris Anderson of Vankleek Hill and a fun-loving brother-in-law of Dave Anderson (Jen), Julie Smith (Mike) and Stephanie (Blake McDonell). Ryan was a special uncle and loved by Lyla, Kye, Hayden, Beckett and Rhys Anderson.  

​

Ryan grew up in Lindsay, Ontario, where his lifelong passion for the Toronto Maple Leaf’s was born, a passion that he shared with his Mom. Hockey was not a sport he played until he joined the OFD East End League in the recent years. As a novice player, he was quite improved, but more enjoyed it for the camaraderie and laughs with his OFD brothers. That hidden talent was a spinoff from his school days, starting at the young age of 10, where he discovered his passion and talent for playing rugby for the Lindsay Rugby Football Club and playing Varsity for three years with the Carleton University Ravens. 

Ryan had a real talent for landscaping and gardening, which he learned from his dad, while growing up in the greenhouses. He loved nothing more than spending time with the boys and Patti turning their gardens into an oasis and a beautiful home.

Ryan dedicated 10 years of his life to the Ottawa Fire Department and one year to the City of Kawartha Lakes Volunteer Fire Department. He was well liked and respected. His service, dedication and friendship will be greatly missed by his fellow firefighters, especially Station 13 Platoon A.  

​

We hope you are setting off fireworks to 90’s grunge music, eating ice cream out of the carton one spoonful at a time, and reading the occasional comic book. “Rest Easy Brother, we’ll take it from here.”

​

A Celebration of Ryan’s Life will be announced at a future date.

​

To help families like Ryan's, please consider a donation in his memory to the Ottawa Firefighters Cancer Support Fund or to Team Morgan a charity that Ryan supported to help children's cancer research at CHEO. Donations for both charities can be mailed to Frontline Financial Credit Union, 365 Richmond Road, Ottawa, ON K2A 0E7. This would be greatly appreciated by his family.

May 1, 1949 - June 7, 2021

Gordon passed away peacefully with family by his side after a short but strong battle with cancer. His 72 years in this world were an example to all that met him of what it is to be a caring son, a loving sibling, a wonderful husband, an extraordinary father, and the best Poppa there could ever be. If you knew Gordon, he probably helped you and was never one to pass on lending a hand. 

When you think of Gordon, you probably smile at the memories, whether it was his sense of humour or his love for life or others. Gordon was proud to serve the City of Nepean as a firefighter for 30 years.  His work didn't stop when he retired, having been a carpenter for 42 years, Gordon was still going to job sites to lead many projects. He was always happy with a hammer in his hand. 

Gordon will be greatly missed by many. He was the devoted husband and best friend of Arlene for 51 years. He was the loving father of Robert (Michelle) and Angela (Jason). He was the greatest Poppa to Emily (Jared), Jordan, Jessica, Spencer, and Tori. He will be missed by his brother and sisters, as well as their spouses, nieces, nephews, friends, and neighbours.

He was quick to make friends with everyone and was loved by so many. We celebrate the fact that he is with his sweet Jesus, walking the streets of gold today. Until we meet again, you are in our hearts. 

The family would be honoured for you to fill out this form in remembrance of Gordon Hay: 

https://forms.gle/4j64Ud8DzFpE4pJz6. If you do not have a gmail account you can add your memories and pictures to the Hulse, Playfair, McGarry site. 

Please feel free to visit the families personal website for Gordon Hay which will be updated regularly with responses coming in through the Google form and through the funeral home website:

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Hélène Mombourquette (nee Tittley) on Tuesday, April 27, 2021, at the age of 65 years at the Ottawa General Hospital, following complications after a very recent cancer diagnosis.  She is survived by her adoring husband Paul, of 34 years, and her beloved son Mathieu (Samantha).  She also leaves to mourn her siblings Bob (Céline), Luc, Céline and Michelle (Michel) and her brothers and sisters in law Tim (Jenny), Danny, Cynthia and Robin, as well as her many nieces, nephews and Godchildren.  Hélène is predeceased by her parents Marcel and Cécile (nee Montion) Tittley, and brothers Denis and Gilles, as well as her in-laws Paul and Terry Mombourquette.  Hélène will be remembered for her devotion to her many friends, notably the Fab 5.  Hélène was a highly respected Labour Relations expert and spent 36 years in the Public Service before retiring in 2011, followed by another 10 years as a consultant.  She was generous with her time and knowledge and will be remembered by many colleagues.

Hélène enjoyed playing golf, reading, listening to music, as well as travelling with her family and friends. In addition to being an excellent mother and wife, she adored cooking, tending to her many flowers and plants, and caring for her four legged princess Maggie. Hélène lived life to its absolute fullest. Renowned for her fashion sense, she brightened everyone’s day with her contagious smile, and her positive outlook on life. She will be remembered for her endless kindness and generosity towards others. She will forever be in our hearts and memories.  

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the doctors and nurses who cared for Hélène at the Heart Institute and the Ottawa General Hospital, in particular Dr. G.A. Nicholas and the oncology team, for the outstanding medical care and compassion. 

A special thank you to the Ottawa Fire Department, our extended family, for their kindness, generosity and support during this difficult time. 

In memory of Hélène donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca).

Due to the current restrictions, a memorial service and a celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date.

He was privileged to have worked with amazing firefighters who became lifelong friends.

An adventuresome spirit, Martin loved to travel. He toured Canada and the United States with his buddies on his motorcycle, travelling to every province and state except Hawaii. He put hundreds of thousands of kilometres on his snowmobile and loved to get out on a bright sunny day with his friends and brothers. Martin loved anything with an engine, especially trucks, and throughout his career as a firefighter always had a second job as a truck driver.

​

Martin was an avid fisherman and spent summers at his cottage on Norway Lake fishing and spending time with his family and friends.

Martin touched the lives of so many people, and he will be sadly missed.

 Myrna gave up her long and courageous fight against Picks disease on January 4th with Billy at her side. Myrna loved her children Derek, Cassidy and Courtney, she spent her life looking over them. She was Billy’s girl for 50 years of marriage. Myrna was simply the best mother and wife any family could ask for.

She loved the outdoors and her time on the Pagwa river and the beaches of  Belize with Billy, they were a team.

Myrna was taken from all of us and her seven grandchildren far too early. We are all thankful for the time Myrna shared her life with each of us, she gave us so much to make us strong.  We will protect the special  memories Myrna created for each of us.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Cornelis deHooge, born August 25th, 1928 in Amsterdam The Netherlands. Dad passed on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2020 at Holland Christian Homes in Brampton as a result of Covid-19.

​

Following WWll, Cornelis served his apprenticeship in the steel fabricating industry before getting married to Johanna Hermina Balke and emigrating to Canada in 1953. Travelling by ship they arrived in Canada and settled in Toronto where they were soon joined by Cornelis’s younger brothers Peter, Maarten, Hans and younger sister Corrie in 1954, who they sponsored and helped raise. Cornelis began his career in Canada with the John Inglis Company as a sheet metal fabricator. Hard work and perseverance brought him to Dominion Bridge Company where he ultimately became a Chief Estimator for large pressure vessels.

​

Cornelis is predeceased by his wife Johanna in 2000 and brother Peter in 2015. He is survived by his sister Leny and brother Maartin in The Netherlands as well as his brother Hans and sister Corrie in Canada.

Cornelis was very proud of his three children, Cornelius Peter deHooge, John William deHooge (Heather) and Margaret Price (Greg). Cornelis was a loving Opa to 5 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

​

Dad and Mom proudly embraced their new country and spent many summers travelling and camping throughout much of Canada with three kids in tow. Coming from a cycling nation, Dad taught us how to strip and rebuild our bicycles.  Dad was a great story teller and had a witty sense of humour. In retirement Dad enjoyed visits with his sister Corrie out west and they also travelled to The Netherlands to visit their brother and sister together, some great stories and memories were shared.

The family wishes to thank Holland Christian Homes for providing Dad with over 20 years of community and Christian fellowship. When conditions permit, the family will gather for a private celebration of life. Donations can be made to Crossroads Christian Communications Inc., at crossroads.ca if so desired.

After a long courageous fight with heart failure, it is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our father and loved one, Charles Oxborough.
Leaving behind his caring partner of many years, Molly Harper. Cherished father of Karen-Ann (Michael Bandler), Diane (David McClintock), Brian, Karin Parker (Alec Corry) and daughter-in-law Diane Oxborough.

Predeceased by his father, Horace Henry (George) Oxborough and mother Reta Grace (McGrath) Bradley, his sister Phyllis Cowie and his greatly adored grandmother, Pearl (Lumsden) McGrath.
Beloved grandfather to Kayla (Julien Machabee), Jay Hebert, Charles and Julia McClintock, Kyle, Kadie and Bennett Oxborough. Great-grandchildren Mya, Masen and Preston Machabee. He will be fondly remembered by his nephews, niece, great-niece, great-nephews, extended family and many friends.

He will also be missed by Kelly Harper (Jorma Beckstrom), Jason Harper (Lisa) and their children Jameson and Jake.

Born in Smiths Falls, Ontario, he moved to Ottawa as a teenager. Attended Ottawa Technical High School where he found his love of sports. His passion for football led him to the semi-pro leagues including the "Sooners". He was an avid fan of the Ottawa Rough Riders. He spent several summers as a member of the Governor General's Foot Guards. Among other hobbies and interests, he pursued and received his private pilot's licence flying Cessna 140 planes while working for TCA.

He joined the Ottawa Fire Department at the age of 18 and retired as a Fire Prevention Officer.
Charlie loved his golf and was a member at many courses over the years. He summered for the last 20 years in Westport, playing at the Evergreen Golf Course. A fitness enthusiast with a long-standing membership at the YMCA, he participated in aerobic classes, squash and racquet ball. His children fondly remember his encouragement, enthusiasm and devotion to their own sporting pursuits, rarely missing an event. He had a passion for hockey which he shared with his grandchildren. He was a huge supporter of all their sporting and artistic endeavours.
He sang and competed with the Capital City Chorus and performed at the National Arts Centre annually. He enjoyed his social breakfast club for over 60 years.

What Dad enjoyed most was being surrounded by his family and his friends. Nothing brought the people around him more joy than his big smile, his hearty laugh and telling stories. He was larger than life and rarely showed up for a holiday meal without his signature dish of turnips.
Those moments will be cherished forever and never forgotten by everyone who had the privilege of getting to spend time with him.

We would like to thank all the dedicated doctors and health care providers over the last seven years, especially Dr. Anil Jain and Dr. Lisa Cross and spiritual guidance from Reverend Shaun Seaman. We cannot thank the May Court Hospice enough for their professionalism, compassion, care and support in helping our dad find peace.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the May Court Hospice through Hospice Care Ottawa (https://www.hospicecareottawa.ca/) or the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (https://foundation.ottawaheart.ca/) would be greatly appreciated
