In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
McCALL, Michael Scott Cameron - Loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Michael died peacefully at his residence in Vancouver, British Columbia. He was predeceased by his first wife, Harriet. He will be deeply missed by his wife, Jo Currie; daughters, Carol (Charles), Leslie (Victor), and Allison (Enzie); and sons, Michael (Kathy), Tom, and Barry. Also by his granddaughters, Emily (Jeff), Lilian (Aidan), Virginia (Stephen), Melissa (Patrick), and Kymberly (Joey); his grandson, Alex (Emma); and by his great-grandchildren, Madeline, Henry, Leslie Grace, and Elizabeth. As a Ryerson University graduate, Michael was headed for a chef's career until he heard the siren call of the Royal Canadian Navy, and became a naval aviator, flying a wide range of airplanes and helicopters off aircraft carriers, in naval tactics exercises, and in search-and-rescue missions from 12 Wing Shearwater naval base in Nova Scotia. Later, he was seconded to NATO, and lived and worked in Brussels for several years. Whenever he found himself on land, Michael took to his beloved touring bicycle, leading tours in Europe and North America with his sons and, later, with his wife, Jo. Michael's ashes will be interred among his family members at the Oakwood Cemetery in Simcoe, Ontario. If you wish to remember Michael with a donation, please consider donating to Doctors Without Borders. (The Globe and Mail 09 Oct 2025
