Miami, Florida - Richard Kenneth (Dick) Campbell, M.D., 96, of Palmetto Bay, Florida passed away peacefully on July 20, 2023 after a brief illness. Dick was born in 1927 in Miami, Fl to Mae and Willard Campbell. He attended the Redlands High School, Ponce de Leon High School and then, after serving in the Merchant Marines during World War II, he attended the University of Florida where he was the President of Phi Kappa Tau, ran track and served on the University's honor court. After college, he attended Tulane Medical School and started a private practice as a family physician, serving the south Florida community for over 50 years. He was on the Board of Governors for South Miami Hospital, served as Chairman of the Department of Family Practice at both South Miami and Larkin Hospitals and was a Clinical Assistant Professor of Family Medicine for Penn State University. He was honored with a lifetime member award from the Dade County Medical Association and a 50 year award for his family practice in Dade County.
In addition to his love of medicine, Dick had many passions- his boat, spending time with family, his dogs, following/cursing the Miami Dolphins, drinking martinis and playing golf. His summers were spent traveling and fishing on the "At Last" in the Bahamas, where he provided free medical care to anyone in need.
Dick was a beloved family man, married to his wife Constance for over 50 years until her passing in 2020. He is survived by son John, daughter Debora and his grandchildren, Dylan and Ashley. Dick asked that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the Miami Rescue Mission, or Paws 4 You.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Campbell. Dr. Campbell delivered my twin sister and I at Baptist Hospital in 1962. Dr. Campbell was our family physician.

I knew Dick as a medical colleague for over 30 years and more recently as a fellow boater on the dock at Blackpoint. He was an outstanding physician and always a gentleman. Never too busy to stop and say hi. I will miss seeing him around. They don't make them like him anymore.

Dr Campbell, so sorry to hear of your passing, you were much more than a client, you treated me more like a family member.
I would always enjoy driving down to the marina to fix your boat.
We had some comical times together, verbal communication could be a little challenging at times, especially when I was wedged behind one of your engines. I once asked you to pass me a wrench, and you passed me a hammer!

I will never forget the time we bumped into each other whilst on holiday in Bimini. Albeit I was on a different boat and we were unaware of each others presence, you actually had me fixing your boat! Never a dull moment with your presence.

I admire the way you would help sick people in the Bahamas, taking over medical supplies and treating the sick.
A very special person indeed!

Thankyou for all the good you have done. There is a special place in Heaven for you.
