Obituary .........................."Snoopy" Campbell Jr.
Therman Leo "Snoopy" Campbell Jr. passed away Sunday, Aug. 12,
2018.
FUNERAL: 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 16, at Wade Family Funeral
Home, 4140 W. Pioneer Pkwy., Arlington, 76013. Graveside Service: 1:15 p.m.,
Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, Dallas. Visitation: 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.
prior to the service at the funeral home.
Therman was born Dec. 26, 1941, at Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas.
His dad was career Army, so he went to 23 different schools before he graduated
high school in Huntsville, Texas, in 1959. He graduated in 1963 from Sam Houston
College where, as a junior, he distinguished himself as captain of the "Lowman
Rifle Team," the first time a non-senior served in this post. Having been in
ROTC, he joined the U.S. Army in 1963 as a second lieutenant. He served in
Vietnam from 1965 to 1966, primarily flying the C-7 Caribou but also in several
other posts. He left the Army in 1967 and soon started flying for Delta
Airlines, starting with the DC-6 and flying the L-1011 when he retired in 1997.
At the same time he joined Delta, he went through the Miami Police Academy and
worked some of the most challenging areas of Dade County while beginning his
career with Delta. In 1976 he transferred to Arlington for Delta but continued
his law enforcement career by joining the Pantego Police Department. From
Pantego he went to Dalworthington Gardens where he helped create a new
department of public safety for the city that included police, fire, and EMT
services. After retiring from Delta, he worked full time for DWG, eventually
becoming deputy chief of the department. He always said he loved flying, but
being a cop was what defined him as a person. He attended First Baptist Church
of Palmer, Texas, where he established the young adult Sunday School class. He
and his wife, Susan, also held an informal Bible study in their home for the
past 17 years. In his later years, he and Susan loved to travel and RV, spend
time with friends and family, and work on any number of projects. He was a man
of faith, high morals, an optimist, and one who cared about everyone around him.
SURVIVORS: He leaves behind his beloved wife of 32 years, Susan. He also leaves
behind a sister, eight children, 11 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and
too many extended family and friends to list.

I truly enjoyed flying with "Snoopy". His personality sparkled just like his nickname. always with a smile and a story or two along the way. Remembrances about his service in SEA were those of character, honor, and keeping the faith to serve his countries call. We salute you Snoopy, see you in God's Kingdom. George Dubick
