Cam Trowsdale, age 88, passed away peacefully in hospice care, in Vancouver, British Columbia, on September 24, 2022, with his beloved wife of 32 years Barbara at his side.
Cam -- Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia, Department of Visual and Performing Arts in Education (35 years); Concertmaster Emeritus, CBC Vancouver Orchestra (40 years); Concertmaster Emeritus, Vancouver Opera Orchestra (40 years) -- was born in Stratford, Ontario and moved to Vancouver where he spent his professional career and was also involved as an academic consultant with the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto where he and Barbara met.
Anyone who knew Cam knew his love of Galiano Island, Jungian Psychology, books, computers, and Star Trek, as much as his love of violins and music.
Heartfelt thanks to the entire staff at St. John Hospice UBC, for all of the outstanding care and support they gave to Cam.
According to Cam's wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service.
Donations may be made to the BC Cancer Foundation.
