IN LOVING MEMORY OF

James Kamin Ii
Oct 20, 1957 — Jul 2, 2013
Obituary
The life of Rick Kamin will be celebrated on Friday, July 26, 2013 at 3:30 p.m. followed by a potluck reception, both at the Goodman Community Center, 149 Waubesa Street, Madison.
Richard "Rick" J. Kamin II, 55, passed away Tuesday, July 2, 2013, at Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg with his family by his side.
Rick loved spending time with his family, friends and neighbors, and he loved the outdoors, fishing and hunting.
Rick had a buoyant sense of humor and delighted in practical jokes, once filling the wading pool next door with beach balls. He relished others' happiness and laughter. To celebrate Rick's spirited humor, people attending the celebration are encouraged to dress casually and wear something with fish on it.
Rick took tremendous pleasure in cooking for family and friends. People lucky enough to attend a potluck with Rick were guaranteed an excellent piece of meat for dinner, from flank steak to fried bluegill. Rick appreciated good food and good company — especially with a can of Leinenkugel's in hand.
Rick was born October 20, 1957, in Germany, the son of Richard J. Kamin I and Patricia (Millhouse) Kamin. Rick married Kim K. Karlin on September 18, 1982, in Fort Atkinson, and they lived on Madison's Eastside in the home they bought in 1988.
Rick worked for Environment Systems Analysis for 17 years, most recently as vice president.
Survivors include his wife, Kim; two sons, William and Daniel, both of Madison; two brothers, James (Kaytrina) and Jeffrey, both of Kenosha; his father and stepmother, Richard (Marie) Kamin, Crivitz; aunt Arlene "Cookie" Liegakas, Kenosha; best friend Dan Schleinz, Madison; mother-in-law Audrey (Dale) Strasburg, Jefferson; brother-in-law Scott Karlin, Green Bay; sisters-in-law Kris (Jeff) Lamb, Fort Atkinson, and Sara (Don) Johnson, Janesville area; many beloved nieces, nephews, other relatives, especially Mary Murray and John Murray, and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother; sister Debra (Kamin); father-in-law William Karlin.
Above all, Rick enjoyed spending time with his family, playing music and discussing life with Will, pacing while Daniel played baseball, and hanging out with Kim in the Coop. He was very proud of his sons, and his joy in life with all three of them was evident to all.
Memorials may be directed to the family.
