Richard "Dick" Almon Campbell was born in Hettinger, N.D., on Oct. 14, 1931, and was called to be with God on Aug. 31, 2009, at the age of 77. He was the third of five children who spent his early years living on a farm in a sod house. His early memories were of winters so cold that the ice were thick enough to drive cars on and of hiding inside a barn to escape tornadoes. There he learned the value of working for a living and sharing the good things life gave you with others. Some things he talked about when he reminisced was driving the hay wagons and hating to get out of bed on the cold mornings. His brothers would carry him out and place him on the tractor seat in his birthday suit if he didn't hurry out of bed. He remembered oranges and peanuts being the best Christmas presents ever, which is a family tradition still continued to this day. Dick played football during high school at Mobridge, S.D., and was part of the "M" Club. He still talked fondly of his youth, growing up, and the antics he and his brothers and friends did. He kept in contact with his friends whenever possible.
After high school, he served our country with the United States Navy during the Korean War from 1952 to 1956. Most of his time was as a gunner's mate on the USS Uvalde AKA88, which was a cargo ship, and he worked his way to become a second class petty officer. His tour of duty took him to Japan, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Korea and Vietnam. One of his funniest memories was shooting high explosive incendiary tracers at drones when they were supposed to be firing blanks during combat training because their captain ordered them to switch to live ammunition. They took out the drone and had to quickly change all of their ammunition back to blanks before they made it to port so they wouldn't get into trouble. He received a number of medals - Good Conduct, National Defense Service Korean Service and United Nations Service. His final station was in Alameda Naval Base, where he met Dorothy Fay Hays, from Adin, Calif. They were married on Aug. 10, 1955, in San Francisco. He went on to the city college, where he learned to be an electrical technician. He worked for Eitel McCullough (EMAC) and Varian Associates. There he helped with the development of early radar warning systems, research and development of travel wave tubes (TWT) used on military airplanes and also helped develop telecommunication satellites for the Navy and Air Force, some of the first in space. This technology developed some of the NASA components that helped put the first man on the moon.
There also began their family in San Francisco, where they had two daughters and finally a son. His employer's company kept growing and relocating farther down into what was to be the Silicone Valley. Soon he was commuting from San Francisco to Palo Alto to work everyday. It was time to either move closer to his work or just leave it all behind.
Dick decided that a quieter life was better for everyone so in 1968 he moved his family to Adin, where he and his wife became co-owners in Adin Supply with Dorothy's parents Ruth and Lewis Hays. There they developed many friendships with people both in the community and who traveled or just spent time there during their vacations. Dick and Dorothy operated the store until they sold it in 2004. Many of the community knew him as the "hot dog man" for all the free hot dogs he gave to the kids when they came into shop with their parents. He spent many an evening cutting up wild game and ranchers' meat over the years. Although he hardly had time to spare, he still loved to hunt and fish when he had a chance, especially with the grandkids. He taught the older ones to drive and spent time reading stories and helping them with homework, all while working at the store. They fondly remember their wild rides with him out hunting. His creative time led him to painting, macrame, rebuilding Volkswagens into Baja Bugs, and raising Jack Russell Terriers as well as Arabian and paint horses. He mastered the methods of training horses as suggested by the "horse whisperer" and still loved to watch the birds and deer everyday. Dick was an active member of the community, where he was a volunteer with the Adin Volunteer Fire Department from 1968 until 1999. He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Association. He also worked establishing the Adin Community Service District, which included trips to Sacramento and pushing to get the paperwork approved to get the town on a modern sewer system. He was also involved with the community by working with the chamber of commerce, and the Annual Fishing Derby. After their retirement from the store, Dick and Dorothy were able to travel to Brazil, Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, North Dakota, Hawaii, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Mexico and Florida, where they shared special times with old friends and family. On each trip, he brought back great stories and pictures of the amazing things they had experienced.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Carol Campbell, and brothers David, Robert and Louie.
He leaves behind his wife, Dorothy Campbell of Adin; sister, Muriel Bucholz of Fosston, Minn.; children, Deborah and husband, Ron Rynearson (grandchildren Levi, Ethan, and Chad) of Sacramento, Calif., Jeanette and husband, Jim Holcomb of Redding, Calif., (grandchildren Jillian Holcomb of Redding and Jennifer and Nigel Baker and great-grandchildren Alyssa and Joshua of Wellington, Fla.), and Edward and wife, Sasha Campbell (grandchildren Trevor and Chase) of Susanville, California.


Muriel Mildred (Campbell) Buchholz, 75, of Fosston, died on Saturday, April 2, 2011, at her home surrounded by her husband and children near Fosston under the care of hospice.
A funeral will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 7, at Carlin-Hoialmen Funeral Home in Fosston with Richard Buchholz officiating the service. Visitation will be on Wednesday, April 6 from 5-7 p.m. at the funeral home, and for one hour before the funeral on Thursday.

She was born April 18, 1935, to John Benjamin and Carol Edna (Stinger) Campbell in a sod house near Lemmon, S.D. Here she lived the early years of childhood there with her parents and four brothers.
As a young girl she moved with her parents and brothers to Mobridge, S.D. where she attended school, graduating from Mobridge High School in 1953. After graduation she moved to Thief Rivers Falls where she taught one year in a one-room school house.
While teaching she met Emanuel (Bud) Buchholz. They were married July 28, 1954, in Mobridge, and made their home near Fort Gordan, Ga. where their daughter was born.
They moved to Gentilly, Minn. in 1956 where they had four additional children. They moved to the Fosston area in 1969, where they operated an excavating business and did some light farming. She enjoyed gardening, preserving produce and feeding her family.
She is survived by her husband; daughters, Debra (Kenneth) Sutherland of Bagley, Nancy (Clark) Dailey of Bejou, Minn.; sons, Richard (Cynthia) Buchholz of Hutchinson, Minn. and Peter (Michelle) Buchholz of Fertile, Minn.; 12 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
