Bill was born on October 26, 1940 in Cortland, New York, to the late
William E. and Clara L. (Boyce) Camp. He was predeceased by his wife of
47 years, Cheryl (Reynolds) Camp in 2009.

In addition there is a plethora of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and
great-nephews, too numerous to be named in this article, but all harbor fond
memories of their "Uncle Bill" with his wonderful sense of humor and love
of family gatherings.
 
William was a graduate of Homer Central High School in Homer, NY, before
briefly attending Houghton College in Houghton, NY. After this, he started
a career in the meat production industry starting work with his father's
business, Camp Packing Company in Cortland, NY which eventually led to a
range of opportunities for executive positions in food industry locations in
the northeast United States, which culminated in roughly 20 years with
Keystone Foods of West Chester, PA, the largest supplier of meat products
for McDonalds restaurants. He finished his working career with
Beiler-Campbell Realtors of Chester County, PA, specializing in commercial
properites.
