Rich is preceded in death by parents Edwin and Bertha (Sadowski) Kamada, and grandchild Brittany Risha Rose (Kamada) Hansen. Rich graduated from Har-Brack High School in 1958, and later went on to graduate from Valtech Institute in 1961. After graduation, Rich enlisted in the United States Army Military Police. He proudly served from 1962-1964, then in the active Reserves until 1968. Rich worked at Barts Gas Station in Natrona, in the pit crew at Lernerville, Chemfax, and Liberty Mirror, and Allegheny Ludlum as a Maintenance Foreman. A camping enthusiast, Rich loved going to camp with his grandchildren, family, and friends. Bowling and golfing were also Rich's favorite past times. He was a proud member of the Oregon Club, Tarentum Elks, Tarentum Eagles and the Tarentum VFW. Betty Kamada and Lisa Waner would like to give a very special thanks to Grey's Colonial Acres for their exceptional love and support, and Senior Helpers for their additional help and support during this time.
