It is with a heavy heart that we share the heartbreaking news that our dear friend Rick Campagna aka, Chooch, has passed away. Losing Chooch so suddenly has left all shocked, grieving and searching for ways to honor his life.

Chooch was a devoted husband, loving father, and loyal friend whose kindness touched everyone who knew him. Chooch leaves behind his wife his 4 children and his stepdaughter all of whom were the center of his world.

Chooch was a proud member of local 597 Pipe Fitter's where he dedicated 27 yrs. of hard work, skills, and loyalty. He was known by his brothers and sisters in the trade as someone you could always count on and never afraid to lend a hand.

But what defined Chooch most was his heart. He was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back even if he didn't have much to give. He carried a goodness about him that made others feel supported, safe, and loved.

As his family faces this devasting loss, we are asking for support to help ease the unexpected financial burden of funeral expenses and to provide some stability for the children during this unimaginable time. Any amount big or small will make a meaningful difference and is deeply appreciated.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping Chooch's family in your thoughts and prayers is just as meaningful.

Thank you for helping us honor Chooch's legacy of love, generosity, and hard work. He will be forever missed but never forgotten.
