Richard Campbell Obituary

Richard C. Campbell Born 5/18/1955, passed away at Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, WA on 4/8/2011. He was a man who enjoyed life to its fullest, with a strong sense of adventure. He enjoyed travel, and his job as a merchant mariner took him all over the world. He was tough and macho but also caring and loyal. Richard was a unique man who will be truly missed by his mother Joyce Zentz, stepfather Larry, aunts Phyllis and Joann, daughter Alea Leeteg, cousin Pat Conlon, and many loving friends. He is now in a better place with his wife Sandra, brothers David and Dean, and niece Monique.

I have known Richard my whole life as we were cousins. His daughter describes him best as macho but very sweet and caring. My heart goes out to his mother and daughter especially as I know their loss is so great. I will miss his stories of being out at sea, his laugh, his humor and his big heart - I have to believe the guys are playing music and laughing and at peace. He will be greatly missed. I love you Richard!

I met Rich and Dean when they would come into the bar I worked at on Saturday mornings to play pool and listen to the jukebox. They made my boring Saturday job so much fun. Rich was a sweet sweet man. He liked to laugh and was always in a great mood. Very happy go lucky! I kept in touch with both of them after I left my job because they had become friends, not just customers. My husband and I both loved them very much. Richard is now with his best friend and brother. Hopefully, they are up there, playing pool, having a cocktail, playing the jukebox, and having a blast. We will miss you Rich. See you later! Love Laura and Ryan Michaels.
