Charles Robert "Bob" Camp,
Age 78, of Wilmington, Ohio, passed away after a long struggle with COPD early Monday Morning, October 31, 2016 at home.
He was born March 20, 1938 in Wilmington, son of the late Paul Frederick & Mabel Louise (Blain) Camp. On June 25, 1961 in Wilmington, he married Shirley A. (Slimp) Camp, who survives.
A Wilmington High School 1957 Graduate, Bob was a US Army Korean War Veteran. He had worked at the Murphy-Benham Hardware Store in downtown Wilmington for over 30 years and then retired from the Wilmington Walmart store after 22 years of service mainly in the paint and hardware department. He was a member of the Wilmington VFW#6710, Wilmington American Legion Post #49, Wilmington FOE #1224 Eagles, and an over 40 year lifetime member of the Wilmington Lions Club.
