Special thanks to Sandi Williams Estabrook for originally posting our father's memorial here. As of July 23, 2013, Stephanie, Danny's oldest daughter, now manages and sponsors this memorial.
___________________________________________________________
The obituary above did not do our father any justice. It was a nice effort, but also brief, impersonal, and really did not describe Dad as a person at all. I am going to go to great lengths here to personalize this memorial. for personal reasons, none of us really got to have much of a life with our father, so what we could do not for our father in life, we can attempt to do for him here.
Danny Lee Campbell was an intelligent and articulate men. He loved his family in his own way and had a wicked sense of humor, Many people that he could be a bit crazy, but that was merely his personality, and you learned to love that about him.
Danny attended Parkview High School (Springfield, MO) and spent most of his adult life driving for Yellow Cab, until his health problems forced him to go on permanent disability. He suffered from Diabetes and the complications thereof, heart disease, and a slew of other medical concerns through the years.
Dad enjoyed friends, good conversation, television and movies, cooking, laughing, corny jokes, wheeling and dealing, Diet Pepsi, McDonald's double cheeseburgers, cold cut sandwiches, building model cars, and leading a simple life.
We are deliberately omitting any mention of our father's marriages here. Those were points of contention for him; surefire ways to turn any conversation into a justifiable negative tirade. Out of respect for him, we prefer to let it be and leave this information out. Women who were married to or involved with him know who they are, and that should be sufficient.
