Russell KAMPER Obituary
(83), passed peacefully, surrounded by family, on March 18, 2022. He was born November 1, 1938, in St. Louis, MO, and was the only child of the late Oliver and Bernadeen Kamper. Russ graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School in Pittsburgh, in 1957. He continued his education at the University of Missouri at Rolla, School of Mines, where he earned his civil engineering degree. He
later received his Masters Degree from the University of
Pittsburgh. Russ is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Laura (Wylie); children Elizabeth (Jeff) Waldo, Michael (Alison) Kamper, Lisa (Mark) Walters, and five grandchildren; Rachael Waldo, Chase Waldo, Lindsey Walters, Ryan Walters, and Croix Kamper. Russ was active in many organizations, including Christ Church United Methodist and Kiwanis. He loved playing golf, traveling, and rooting for the Steelers.
