Arthur "Dale" Campbell

Arthur "Dale" Campbell passed away peacefully on April 6, 2015 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born December 28, 1951 in Detroit, MI to Arthur and Jennie Campbell. He grew up the lone boy with five sisters who became some of his dearest friends. He married his best friend, Lois Burnette on May 22, 1973 in the Salt Lake City LDS temple. Together they raised 5 children who are among his proudest accomplishments.

Dale retired from Ford Motor Company in 2007 after more than 30 years of employment there and has always cherished the many friendships he made during that time. He was a life long member of the LDS church where he served faithfully in many capacities throughout his life. We will always remember him for his infectious smile, strong hugs, love of family, great sense of humor, competitive spirit, love of sports and constant concern for everybody but himself. He was our gentle giant and we will miss his presence tremendously.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 42 years, Lois Campbell, his children Chris (Kristine) Campbell of Bellevue, NE, Steven (Tammi) Campbell of Plattsmouth, NE, David Campbell of Kansas City, MO, Beth (Phillip) Ervie of Warrensburg, MO and Scott (Ashley) Campbell of Kansas City, MO as well as 14 grandchildren who love their Papa dearly. He is also survived by his mother, Jennie Campbell, and his five sisters and their families as well as many other extended family members. He was preceded in death by his father, Arthur Campbell.
