Spencer Clark Campbell, 69, Dworshak Dam construction worker
Spencer Clark Campbell entered heaven on Monday, Oct. 19, 2009, surrounded by family, after a 14-year battle with heart disease.
Spencer was born March 24, 1940, to Orville Clark (Jack) and Irene Alda Campbell, at Miller, SD. He was the fourth of seven children born to their union. He was raised on the farm in Hand County with the love of a large extended family and spent many hours with his Grandma Kane and Grandma Campbell, eating fresh strawberries and oranges and enjoying their company.
When Spencer was nine years old, his father passed away suddenly from diabetes. While this was a difficult time for the family, they were determined to stay together. The close family bond between Irene Campbell and Lloyd and Josie Campbell that would last for eternity was cemented during this time. Spencer's cousins, Don, Delmer, Milton, Anna, Ruth and Millard, became his brothers and sisters. Spencer and his siblings rode horses 21/2 miles to attend school in a one-room schoolhouse. This was a time for mischief and adventure. The Campbell kids grew up spending time spotlighting jackrabbits, pheasant hunting, running trap lines for mink and muskrats and creating their own adventures, but also learned the ways of the Lord during their many hours in church.
Spencer accepted the role of caretaker and provider from an early age when he quit school at the age of 14. He worked on many farms as a youth, including Dearborn Ranch, Hines Ranch and Pangburn Ranch. The proceeds from his weekly labor allowed him to purchase a can of No. 2 peaches and a half gallon of vanilla ice cream for the family; one dollar of spending money for himself; and the rest for his mother to cover family expenses.
It was while Spencer was working for Robert Pangburn that he met the love of his life, 13-year-old Lorna Mins. They would marry two days after her high school graduation and shared 47 wonderful years together. They made their home at the "home place" while Spencer worked construction on Big Ben Dam in Fort Thomas, SD, for one year before moving to Chambers, NE.
After three years in Nebraska, they moved to Clarkston, WA where Spencer continued employment working construction on the dams. Over the next 11 years, he worked on Little Goose, Lower Granite, Dworshak and Libby dams. It was during this time that he contributed to the historical markers of working on the last dam built in South Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington. In his years of construction work, he was nicknamed "Red" for his bright red hair. In 1977, Spencer obtained employment at Potlatch Corp., and worked there until his retirement in 2000, due to heart disease.
Horses were always a part of Spencer's life. He taught all of his children and grandchildren to ride and did everything possible to make sure they had a horse of their own. He had been a member of the Lewis-Clark Saddle Club for the past 50 years, participating in many O-Mok-Sees and horse events. Spencer loved a good horse race!
Spencer had many other hobbies, including driving his tractor, driving ponies, pheasant hunting, ranching and storytelling, but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his many grandchildren. Spencer loved watching them participate in their many activities, no matter what it was. Spencer had a caring spirit and helped anyone he could. He gave generously of his home, time and love to his family and friends, and was a foster parent to more than 50 children.
He was preceded in death by his parents; aunt and uncle, Josie and Lloyd Campbell; brothers, LeRoy and Dale Campbell; cousins, Don and Delmer Campbell; nephew, George Campbell; great-niece, Toni Rediger; and son-in-law, Brian Prior.
Survivors include his wife, Lorna Campbell; daughter, Lesa Milburn of Kamiah; daughter and son-in-law, Kamme and Rick Hust of Clarkston; son, Jason Campbell of Clarkston; daughter and son-in-law, Kopper and Paul Blunt of Clarkston; sister-in-law, Donna Campbell of Harrisburg, OR; sister-in-law Sharon Campbell of St. Lawrence, SD; sister and brother-in-law, Valoris and Larry Hewitt of Beaver Creek, OR; brother and sister-in-law, Garland and Karen Campbell of Crestview, FL; brother and sister-in-law, Gary and Betty Campbell of Cottonwood; sister and brother-in-law, Velma and Gordon Bennett of Austin, TX; brother-in-law and wife, Boyd and Tootie Mins of Texas; brother-in-law and wife, Don and Linda Mins of Lexington, NE; brother-in-law and wife, Ron and Sharon Mins of Miller, SD; sister-in-law and husband, Linda and Roy Arnzen of Greencreek; and their families. He is survived by cousins, Melva Campbell of Lolo, MT, Milton and Jeanette Campbell of Clarkston, Anna and Pete Kauffman of McPherson, KS, Ruth McCoy and Jeff Eagan of Allen, TX, Millard and Connie Campbell of Venice, FL, and their families. Spencer was blessed with 23 grandchildren: Luke and Micah Milburn, Leah and Josiah Dickson, Jerica, Shayla, Savannah and Keyonna Hust, Cameron Auker, Bethany, Spencer, Benjamin, Jessica, Maliik and Nathaniel Prior, Jayce and Jayden Campbell, Caleb, DePaul, Koby, Dawson, Kameron and Zaid Blunt and Jason Mack; one great-grandchild, Andrew Dickson; and numerous nieces and nephews who greatly valued his caring and generous spirit and came to know him as "Uncle Penny." Spencer also leaves behind his trusted companion, Pard, his dog.
The funeral will be at 2 p.m. Friday at Guy Bennett Pavilion in Asotin, WA followed by a graveside service at Vineland cemetery in Clarkston. A covered-dish dinner at the pavilion will follow the graveside service.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Lewis-Clark Saddle Club tractor fund, Asotin County Little League or Special Olympics in his name.

Kenneth James Sander, 79
Kenneth James Sander, 79, of Lewiston, died Monday Oct. 19, 2009, at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston.
Ken was born April 19, 1930, the ninth of 11 children to Bernard Joseph Sander and Anna Delsman Sander of Lapwai. Dad attended grade school at Webb Ridge School and the Mission School at Slickpoo. After graduating from Lapwai High School in 1950, Dad worked for Harvey Herndon as a farmhand and for Potlatch Forests Inc., for a short time, before being drafted into the U.S. Army. Prior to shipping out to the Korean Conflict, Dad met a young impressionable farm girl from Colton, WA Mary Guettinger. Little did she know what she was getting into'
On Oct. 11, 1952, during an attack on T-Bone Hill on the Korean Peninsula, Dad was gravely wounded. Incredibly he survived after months of treatment in various military hospitals, during which time he said he shook hands with Bob Hope and met the actors from the TV show "Gunsmoke". He was released, and found Mary waiting for him.
Apparently Mom saw something in the young man from Lapwai and stuck with him, wheelchair and all. They were married
June 27, 1953, at Saint Galls Catholic Church in Colton. It is a testament to Mom's love and care that Dad lived a complete and full life of 79 years. Ken and Mary made a home in Lewiston, where they raised three children in a loving and caring home. We learned to be honest and true to your family and friends and we learned how to work for what you want in life. Thank you, Dad.
Dad and Mom operated a tax consulting business out of the family home for many years until "retirement".
Kenny is survived by his wife of 56 years, Mary; children, Bernard and Carla Sander of Lewiston, Brenda and Kirk Daehling of Dalton, MA, and Steve Sander of Lewiston; grandchildren, Mitchell, Adam, Kayla, Hannah and Dustin; brother, Wayne of Lapwai; sisters, Ethel of Orofino and Wilma of Dayton, WA; and nephews, nieces and cousins almost beyond count. Dad was preceded in death by his father, Bernard; mother, Anna; and siblings, Dorthea, Leona, Lawrence, Sylvester, Raymond, Bernard and Vincent.
The service for Dad will start with a rosary at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Lewiston, followed by a funeral Mass at 11. A burial service will follow at Lewis-Clark Memorial Gardens in Lewiston. The Rev. Les Kish and Monsignor Andrew Schumacher will officiate.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
We would like to thank Dr. David Peterson and Renee, his nurse, for caring for Dad these last few years. Thanks also to the Lewiston firefighters and paramedics, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center ER staff, and Dr. Dir and the staff of St. Joe's ICU for their kind words and loving care of our Dad these couple of days.
