RANDY CAMPBELL

Randy Campbell went to be with the Lord on Nov. 2, 2012.

Born Sept. 13, 1950, in Andalusia, he graduated from Red Level High School in 1968 and studied radio and TV broadcasting at Career Academy in Atlanta. He used his broadcasting training during a three-year tour of duty in the U.S. Army, where he directed operations for the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service in Germany.

In 1973, he moved to Southern California, where he worked in the music and entertainment business and eventually established a successful career in the growing cable television business. Later in life, his passion for music – especially gospel, country and bluegrass – opened the door for a new career as a concert promoter and agent. He worked with top artists like Ralph Stanley, the Dillards and Maria Muldar.

He loved sports, especially baseball and basketball. He was happier watching his San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park or the final four of NCAA in Midwest Arena than watching these events on TV.

He loved to regale stories of meeting his sports and music heroes from spring training in Arizona to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn.

He loved to take his daughter to every “big” event he could so she would get a sense of how great and special this experience could be. He loved to travel – be it foreign soil, the big cities or a quiet back country road.

In 1990, he moved to Tucson, Ariz., and set down roots. He loved children and taught Sunday school at St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church for several years. He was always willing to help those in need and was never at a loss of words for encouragement.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia Ezerski; daughter, Rachel Campbell; parents, Lois and Fritz Duensing of Gantt; and sister and brother-in-law, Linda and Clarence Lint of Andalusia.

He was preceded in death by his bather, Jake Dempsey Campbell, and his sister, Dale Campbell Griffin.

Graveside services will be held today, Sat., Nov. 10, at 10 a.m., at Oak Grove Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the graveside.
