Andrew CAMPBELL Obituary

thinking of the family at this sad time. May he rest peacefully.

Dear Patricia, Murray and Andrew, I wish I'd been able to be with you today to say godspeed to one of the most vivid people I've known. I'm very pleased that Michael was able to attend to represent the Dreaver connection, that has been many-stranded. He was an entirely kind man, and the source of enjoyment and inspiration to so many, myself very much included. My four offspring, Peter and Con have been conversing about him at length by email. He was a legend at Te Kuiti, at Pukekohe and at Levin and I'm sure also at Melville but most of all to you he has been a loving and stimulating husband and father. I has been good to know him.

The whole Dreaver whanau treasure our memories of Fraser and of Patricia. Kind and generous people, connected to our family for many decades. The AJ Dreaver whanau particularly remember their warm hospitality when we moved to Levin. Thanks for sharing your comics, Murray and Andrew.

Fraser was a deeply respected colleague of our Grandad Bert and father Anthony. He found a kindred soul in Grandad and, I suspect, in our Uncle Pete, who he taught for three years at Te Kuiti High School.

As our principal and sometime relief teacher at Horowhenua College,the four Dreaver kids were charmed and amused by his endless zest for life. Always ebullient, often hilarious.

So many funny stories, but I want to acknowledge the deep impact on my spiritual development of a series of assembly talks in which Fraser introduced us, thoughtfully and respectfully, to the world's major religions. I am forever grateful.

Dear aunty Patricia and families,

While Erin will be there tomorrow, the rest of us will be with you in spirit only. May you be surrounded by the love of family and friends, as you gather together to celebrate a truly remarkable life.

Though our hearts are heavy - they are full of warm memories, of a fine example of humanity, whose warmth and enthusiasm for life, will long be treasured and remembered.

“Moi mae rā uncle Fraser, haere ki o koutou tūpuna!"

Kei konā te aroha me te whakaaro,

Rest in Peace Mr Campbell. A fun Headmaster at Melville High. Thinking of you all tomorrow x

Deepest sympathy to the Campbell family. Fraser was an inspirational teacher at Pukekohe HS during my time there from 1959 to 1961. He was years ahead of his time in the teaching methods he used. Teachers like Fraser really do make a difference and are long remembered.

Andrew and Murray and family, my deepest condolences on the passing of your father. Warmest regardsVaughan Henry, Melville High

Sincere condolences for your loss. Mr Campbell became Principal at MHS the same year I started there in the 3rd form.
Affectionately known as Captain Zest amongst many of the students as every assembly included the phrases zest and zeal.
A big, happy, smiling and encouraging man.
