He was the son of Clarence Frank Camomile and Anna Virginia Ward, and grew up in Salt Lake City before moving to Ogden, Utah at the age of 10. He attended Edison Elementary before continuing his education at Mt. Lomond Elementary, Lorin Farr Elementary, Central Junior High, and Ogden High School. He proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1960 to 1962, stationed in Mannheim, Germany as a Communications Chief. During his service, he was called to Berlin during the 1961 Berlin Wall crisis. Following his military service, he continued his dedication to his country by joining the Utah Air National Guard in January 1963. Over the years, he served in several roles, including radar operator with the 130th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, air traffic controller with the 299th Range Control Squadron, and member of the 109th Tactical Control Flight Squadron. In 1979, he transferred to Hill Air Force Base, where he worked as Scheduling Branch Chief for the Utah Test and Training Range. He retired after 30 years of civil service and 20 years with the Air National Guard. In addition to his military and civil service career, he remained active in his community, working part-time with Utah Auto Auction, Salt Lake Community College, and Burt Brothers Tires until the age of 70. He was married to Joann Alger in 1955, and together they had two daughters, Karla Lee Camomile and Stephanie Lynn Camomile. He later married Pauline Johnson in 1963, and they had two sons, Douglas Scott Camomile (Sandy) and Alan Scott Camomile. In 1998, he married Susan Gray, with whom he made his home in Sandy, Utah. Through this marriage, he gained two stepsons, Lyle Knudsen (Dorothy) and Shawn Gray (Patricia). He is survived by his wife Susan; children Karla, Stephanie, Douglas, and Alan; his stepsons, Lyle and Shawn; as well as his extended family of daughters-in-law, nieces and nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Sydney Gene Camomile. He will be remembered for his lifelong dedication to service, his strong work ethic, and his commitment to his family. His life reflected quiet strength, resilience, and a deep sense of duty. The family would like to thank the staff at Aspen Ridge Rehab and Sandy Health and Rehab for the wonderful and dedicated care that they gave to him. At Dennis' request, no services will be held. ]]></storytext><image><caption><![CDATA[ Dennis Camomile ]]></caption><height></height><width></width><photo>https://cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/saltlaketribune/Photos/SLT0038058-1_20260501.jpg</photo></image></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Dennis Camomile ]]></title><storytext><![CDATA[ Dennis Frank Camomile 1937 ~ 2026 In Loving Memory Sandy, UT- Dennis Frank Camomile, born July 5, 1937, in Salt Lake City, Utah at LDS Hospital, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2026.

He graduated from St Mary's High School in 1966, and served honorably in the US Navy from 1966-1970, seeing much of the world stationed on a ship during the Vietnam War, including serving on the crew that picked up the Apollo 11 astronauts. In 1975, John married Katherine Tannis Lassiter, later divorced. They welcomed their first son before relocating to Utah in 1980, and welcoming two more sons. John began working at the Tooele Army Depot as a Program Analyst, telling his kids he "counted bullets" for all 41 years before retiring. John coached soccer for over 30 years, and met the love of his life, Sandra Howard, on the soccer field. He married her on August 2, 1996, happily and lovingly adding her four boys to the brood and raising them as his own to make a merry house with now SEVEN boys, later adding one more baby in 1999 to make an even EIGHT. John and Sandra built a house in Magna, UT, where they shared a happy life, full of children and love. After finishing counting all the bullets and retiring from Tooele Army Depot, John and Sandra moved their empty nest to Mesquite, NV, sharing a few happy, scorching years enjoying some much-deserved peace and quiet. Sandra lovingly cared for John day and night through his courageous and high-spirited cancer journey for his final 380 days. John was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew & Marguerite Lachowsky, his sister Rita Marie, lost to SIDS, and brother in-law John Goad. He is survived by his wife, Sandra, children Richard (Alli) Lachowsky, Paul (Aubrey) Lachowsky, Jonathan (Melissa) Parry, Christopher (Quintina) Parry, Nicholas (Liz) Parry, David (Ryan McAllister) Lachowsky, Thomas (Haley) Kane, Xavier (Caylee) Lachowsky, sisters Emily Schwoerke, Barbara (Bob) Palmer, Martha Goad, and Fran (Phil) Romanowicz, and grandchildren Ethan, Jamie, Hyrum, Grant, Everett, Trent, Kaitlyn, Andreas, Everly, Wylder, Goldie, Caspian, and at least one he wasn't yet able to make the acquaintance of, Aurora. Celebration of life will take place at a later date, where there will be only "cheap beer," per John's request. This will later be followed by a service with military honors. ]]></storytext><image><caption><![CDATA[ John Lachowsky ]]></caption><height></height><width></width><photo>https://cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/saltlaketribune/Photos/SLT0038072-1_20260501.jpg</photo></image></item><item><title><![CDATA[ John Lachowsky ]]></title><storytext><![CDATA[ John Richard "Rick" Lachowsky February 7, 1948 ~ April 28, 2026 Mesquite, NV- Born in Colorado Springs, CO, John was the only boy, and middle child in a family otherwise full of girls.

Born to Ellis and Ouida Nield on September 7, 1933, in Afton, Wyoming. She married her high school sweetheart, Alma Dean Skinner, on February 20, 1953. She always predicted she would live to be 92, and she was right! Our beloved mother was an avid reader, a lover of all animals, someone who loved a good pot of coffee, and she found great joy in making and sharing candy with her family. In her youth she worked at the Afton Library, Fred's Cafe, and Robert's Market. After moving to Utah she was employed by Litton Industries. She is survived by her daughters, Laura (Wayne d. 2018) Healey, Sheri (Jim) McGee, Deena Skinner, and Jill (Jeff) Jensen; her son, Blake (Robyn d. 2017) Skinner. She was preceded in death by her husband, Alma Dean Skinner; her daughters, Susan (Frank) Garcia and Shannon (Ryan) Ogden; her grandson, Russell Garcia; her granddaughter, Teesha Nieser; and her siblings, Rita Hinck, John Nield, Wendell Nield, and Dixie Anderson. She was blessed with 22 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren and many great-great-grandchildren. A casual graveside service will be held on May 16, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. at the Memorial Mountain View Cemetery, 3115 Bengal Blvd., Sandy, Utah. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you remember her by reading a good book, sipping a cup of coffee, savoring a favorite piece of candy, and showing a little extra kindness to an animal. ]]></storytext><image><caption><![CDATA[ Burma Skinner ]]></caption><height></height><width></width><photo>https://cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/saltlaketribune/Photos/SLT0038084-1_20260502.jpg</photo></image></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Burma Skinner ]]></title><storytext><![CDATA[ Burma Elizabeth Nield Skinner In loving Memory North Salt Lake, UT-Burma Elizabeth Nield Skinner passed on November 15, 2025, in Bountiful, Utah.
