Dick then went to college at South Dakota State University in Brookings and graduated from the College of Pharmacy in 1975. After graduating he worked for Penner Pharmacy in Beatrice and then in Norfolk for Sunset Drug. In 1981 the family moved to Scribner and Dick purchased the Scribner Pharmacy (formerly called Grosserode Pharmacy).
Dick was a member of St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Scribner, the Scribner Chamber of Commerce, the American Legion Post 121 of Scribner, the Nebraska Pharmacist Association, and the National Federation of Independent Business. Dick loved his family and loved to spend time with them. When not at work or with his family he enjoyed hunting pheasant, golfing & baseball (especially watching the St. Louis Cardinals). During Dick's younger years he played baseball for Petersburg and for Albion, as his services were in great demand.

Omaha, NE Sunday, June 15, 2008 DIck was relentless in his work.. He devoted many long days and after hours filling prescriptions for the community of Scribner. Embracing Death as a Friend .As a person of faith, of resurrection faith, see death as a friend, not a foe; and the experience of death as a transition from life to life, from grace to glory. Holy Jesus, have mercy on the Soul of Dick CampFaith Reick

Scribner, NE Saturday, June 14, 2008 We have only been in Scribner for the past six years, but we will miss Dick's friendly and familiar face at our local pharmacy. We pray that our Lord Jesus will give your family comfort in the fact that His own death and resurrection points us beyond this time of loss to the glories of a heavenly home which He prepares for all who trust in His free gifts of forgiveness and eternal life. God's peace to you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus!Kaitlin Reick
