/David Chase Campbell Sr., at 84
David Chase Campbell, Sr. of Hull, formerly of Cape Cod, died peacefully on June 29. He was 84.
Born in Hyannis, he was raised in Marstons Mills, and after graduating from Barnstable High School, he joined the US Army, and was stationed in Germany. He then returned home to begin his career as a pharmaceutical salesman throughout the Cape and Islands. Mr. Campbell loved to play golf, and in retirement worked for both the Milton Hoosic Club and the Hatherly Golf Course. He also enjoyed traveling with his wife, Paula, in their RV. He loved the ocean, Cape Cod, trips to Maine and Florida, and was an avid reader and a great businessman. He was a parishioner of St. Ann’s Church in Hull.
One of his biggest passions was his dogs. He loved animals and always adopted them through shelters. Most important to him was his family, his children and grandchildren, whom he loved deeply. All he ever wanted was the best for his family!
The son of the late James Francis Campbell and the late Cleone (Chase) Campbell, he was the loving husband of 53 years of Paula (Lavidor) Campbell of Hull, and the father of Kristen Lavidor (Campbell) Scanlan and her husband, Paul, of Hull, and David Chase Campbell Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Laverty Campbell, of Westford. He was the cherished “Bear” to his grandchildren, Taylor and Ryan Campbell of Westford, and Brandon Parsons, Nicholas Scanlan, and Kristopher Scanlan of Hull.
Mr. Campbell also was the loving brother of Peter Campbell and his late wife, Susan, of Hyannis, and the late James Francis Campbell. He was the uncle of Peyton Willman and her family of Barnstable, and Pete Campbell and his family of Springfield.
