Eric is survived by his loving wife, Janice (Morrison) Campbell; siblings, Diane (John) Rolls and Danny (Donna) Campbell; in-laws, the Morrisons; children, Sheilla Legere, Renita MacIntyre, Belinda Campbell, Lisa Peddle and Robbie MacDonald. Eric was known as Uncle Ricky to many nieces, nephews and cousins.
